New, Revised EditionThe guide described by The New York Times as indispensable, revised and updated for 2010, fills a vital niche for expatriates and Cairenes alike who need a helping hand to organize and enjoy the challenges of a sojourn in Cairo. The basics of daily life finding a flat, transporting personal goods, investigating school options for children, navigating Egypt s famous bureaucracy, and the intricacies of feeding and clothing oneself and one s family from the local market are all detailed here. Advice gathered from a wide range of Cairo insiders, both native and foreign, gives the reader a cornucopia of current facts on prices, neighborhoods, product availability, work and business opportunities, and the dizzying range of cultural and leisure pursuits that Cairo is famous for. Cairo: The Practical Guide, now in its seventeenth edition, is the key to deciphering the complexities of living, working, and enjoying life in one of the world s most exciting and dauntingly complex mega-cities.
