I know this is a property site, but when you have bought a property does anyone know how you go about getting a job in Hurghada with good pay and living in your property full time,

What about the tax ect.
Visa's for working.
Schooling for children.

Here is some information about schooling. The El Gouna International School is (what I know) the only school following the British (international) curriculum (IGCSE).

*El Gouna International School: application fee: $1000 per child, not refundable. Reception: $3675, Y1-6: $4200, Y7-9: $4725, Y10-11: $5250, Y12: $6300. Second child: 10% discount, Third: 25% discount. Busfees: LE 2200 per child. Bookfees: rec-Y4: $150, Y5-6: $180, Y7-9: $250, Y10-11: $260. That is the latest information I have.
I have no information about fees from other schools in Hurghada, but I think they must be cheaper.
Here are some of the other schools:
*New school: Sunrise (don't know if this is a language school or American system)
*Rajac, language school, they will start American, but I don't know when.
*German school (not all classes yet, they "grow" with the children)
*French school (not all classes yet, they "grow" with the children)
*El Geel el Saed school: language school, but mostly Egyptian children.
*St Joseph school: my children went there, but teachers were not really qualified then.

And of course a lot of government schools, but I think nobody would recommend them!

Till the age of 17 there is education in Hurghada, above is very limited, like only a hotel school and I think a school where you can learn to become a teacher, something like that. For universities you have to go to Cairo or maybe Qena (Nile area).

Maybe you find more info on working/living in Egypt on the forums of egyptsearch

If you want to know the exact website please send me a PM

Working in Egypt as a foreigner is not easy unless you will work unlegal
you have to check with hotels as the law gives them a 10% foreign empolyees depending on the needs of the position

Hi,
From What I know about working in Egypt isnt the pay poor? or are there some jobs where you can make a comfortable living.?

normally the salaries are low comparing to Europe but as a forigner you will get a good salary depending on your job & position

If you want to earn good money you need to be working as a tour guide or in property sales. Mostly your income will be commission based or in tips. It would be difficult to get a well paid salaried position I would think. Not sure about some of the more senior hotel staff? Anyone have any experience of that?

My husband and I are giving it alot of thought about packing up and moving to Hurghada. We know it will be a big move but before we decide we have to find job's and children's schooling. Our children are aged 8 and 11 does anyone know about the schooling in Hurghada not the big private one in El Gouna that is way to expensive £5000 per child per year.

Also how do we go about getting job's out there we know the wages are alot lower than here but the prices of things are alot lower too.

We are out in April on our own without the children so this could help with our research too.

Any help would be great.

Thanks Jayne.

Hi Jayne - I have read that amongst other things you need to get an aids test done and a letter from your current employer ( one place I looked at said that it needs to prove that you have worked for that employer for at least 8 years ) and I also read that your new employer will apply for the work permit for you.

Current employer would be imposible as Husband is self employed,I am a qualified nail tecnition but worked mobile for the past 7 years. I have done alot of studies a college eg: computer skill, building computers, book keeping,

with having an apartment we have residency visa's I know we need work permits too but that is a day out to the visa office.
