Let us construct a budget  Subject Single Male/Female residing in Cairo:   Rent: A two bedroom unfurnished apartment in decent yet not upper middle class apartments. Costs minimally 750 L.E, if you want to go lower then we are talking poor areas or areas that are out of the way. I know people who pay as little as 10 L.E a month rent but these apartments are under rent-control from the 60's. Ok say someone wants to live real simple and they choose a poor crowded area and the rent is indeed 350 L.E Rent 350 L.E living in a lower class neighborhood … go to goggle earth and such area is the most crowded (you can't even make out the streets) For neat areas in Dokki, Zamaelk, Mohandissen, Al maadi a furnished flat can cost you minimally a 3000 LE/Month.  Electricity: The subject has: Fridge Ceiling Fan in Bedroom and Living room Small TV PC Water Heater in bathroom Total cost approximately 30-50 L.E a month probably lower if he decides to rig it like most poor folk do in Cairo.

This is How Egypt look like in 2007. I took this video when I rode the Microbus. It's actually funny for someone interested in Egypt and living in it. To help me improve this video , It's FAVORABLE to give a comment on it.

Cities with the highest density of population per square kilometer are the logical candidates for becoming the most congested, because congestion increases as the growth in their wealth increases the number of cars versus the less expensive alternatives of bicycles, motor scooters or motorcycles. Cars take up more room whether they are in motion or when parked--if they can be parked. U.S. and European cities have often chosen to place garages in new buildings, while older nonindustrialized cities often lack such amenities. Cars may therefore be parked everywhere, legally or illegally. The cities with the highest level of population congestion are: Manila, the Philippines; Cairo, Egypt ; Lagos, Nigeria; Macau, off the Chinese coast; Seoul, South Korea; Dhaka, Bangladesh; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Jakarta, Indonesia; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; and Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic. To drive a car in any of them might be the ultimate challenge.Well over 50 million cars are being manufactured i...

Usually when people think about fishing in Egypt, they think of Hurghada, Sharm, or Nasser Lake where they can rent a boat or sometimes even fish off of a dock. However, fishing in Egypt is much simpler than that. I got in my car and started my journey on the west bank of the Nile in Cairo. I passed Imbaba, Wara', and then I passed the Ring Road. I thought I was lost, so I asked around about a famous bridge where people fish. One man was very helpful and told me to go straight until I reached a bridge called El Galatma. After traveling about 20 kilometers, I found the Galatma Bridge. It is an old bridge with many gardens and trees all around it. I parked my car and went to walk on the bridge. One of the main means of transportation there was the donkey and people looked so cute riding them. The Nile looked very clear and calm. There are two little bridges beside the Galatma Bridge where people stand and fish.

That is a deeper topic and can not be limited just for prices; it is a political, economy and history of Egyptian regime since 55 years So it is so surface when you just feel sorry just for prices? No do not be sorry Egyptian will always manage. And will survive we never need any sympathy of any one. But if you like to talk about Egyptian political stand? Economic situation? Education? Government? Private sectors? Egyptian low? Etc Human Right for Egyptian? And you have to talk about all of those factors than you can talk about the prices because it is one out come of all that factors.

Egypt is the Nile. From ancient times to the building of the Aswan Dam, the unpredictable Nile shaped the country and its people. The yearly flooding led to the development of mathematical, astronomical, and engineering knowledge way in advance of other civilizations. Planning for the years when the harvest was poor led to the development of government and a system of laws. That Egypt has survived for 6000 years is due to the bounty of the Nile. Life along the Nile has changed little over the millennium. The water of the Nile varies according to the weather. It is hot when it is hot and cold when it is cold.

I work with cancer breast ladies daily ,as they undergo imaging of their breasts . Anyway , i wanna stress that annual mammographic asessment after age of 40 is of extreme importance ... Maybe breast self examination( BSE) incraesed DETECTION but i find it difficult to believe it increased incidence . more women are seeking advice when feeling new lumps in their breasts , sometimes too small to be felt on regular clinical exams ..and many times they were only felt coz she was examiing herself not because it is a remarkably felt lump . Breast cancer is a curable cancer , and it is really crucial if discovered early , sometimes it presents without a felt mass ! and in many instances it is dicovered on annual imaging performed for screening , before it is palapable for the doctor or the lady herself .. again , it doesn't have to present with a lump ...!!!! i saw frequesnt cases where , we locate suspicious calcifications and when they are taken out by a biopsy they turn out to...

It's from the childhood and motherhood national council. I heard of it on Cairo . They have this hot line 24 hours and communicate with different organizations and with the police. They receive calls from people who know of homeless children anywhere. You give them the address of the street those children stay in and their average age, they will connect you with some organization which should try to take care of him or them

LUXOR, Egypt -- After six decades of wrangling, Egyptians living in the hills near Luxor have agreed to move out and give tourists and archaeologists access to nearly 1,000 Pharaonic tombs that lie beneath their homes, the government said Saturday. Officials said most of 3,200 families in the brightly painted, mud-brick houses have agreed to pack up and move to a $32 million residential complex being built three miles away. No deadline for moving has been set and there is no target date for finishing the complex. "Most of them want to leave and they demand to leave," said Rania Yusuf, a spokeswoman for Egypt's Supreme Council for Antiquities in Luxor. Only a few families continue to resist, "and they will leave, believe me," Yusuf said. The government began trying to get the families to leave after World War II, but talks repeatedly bogged down. Many residents, who depend on Luxor's tourist business to earn livings, argued that new homes being offered were t...

Felucca trips start in Aswan and stop at the most important sites of antiquity along the river before reaching Luxor. While in Aswan, waiting for final arrangements to be made, there are several interesting side trips including tours of the Aswan Dam and the Temple of Philae. The new Aswan Dam, completed in 1970, created 300-mile-long Lake Nasser. One of the earth’s largest structures, the rock-fill dam, has a volume about seventeen times that of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Temple of Philae, on an island between the old and the new dams, is the most interesting of Aswan’s antiquities. The creation of Lake Nasser would have completely covered the temple complex permanently had it not been for a cooperative world-wide effort that dismantled, crated and moved of the Great Temple of Isis to new location where it was reassembled. The oldest part of the Temple dates back to the 4th century. Between Aswan and Luxor, there three important archeological sites and even though there are no fix...
