Hey enjoyed going through your blogs! My husband is shortly relocating to Cairo and I plan to move with him. I am a post graduate in Human Resources from tata Institute Of Social Sciences, Mumbai and have been working for 2.5 years now. Could you help me with information on whether I will get jobs in cairo once I go on a dependant visa?
Dipshika,
Not to disillusion you, but it is difficult to get a full time job in Egypt, if you come on a spouse visa.
If you are looking for a full time position it is better to be hired from outside Egypt as an expat.
But you can consider volunteer and other activities when you come here which can be quite enriching and fulfilling.
The Breathing Room is a GREAT new yoga venue in Maadi on Rd 251 close to Midan Degla.
Here is a link to their website:

I am moving downtown soon and the Breathing room is the thing I will miss most about Maadi!
On the Mat is a yoga studio that offers all types of yoga, in zamalek.
I'm coming to Cairo for a conference end of January/beginning of February. I'll want to find a place in Zamalek I believe. Does anyone have an address for this On the Mat yoga studio in Zamalek? I will check out el Sawy Culture Wheel as well.
Thanks in advance
