Cairo, and Egypt in general, is not currently a good place to be looking for work. The economy is very unstable, the political situation remains to be resolved.
If moving to Egypt really is in your dreams, wait until things settle down. I have so many people that have lost their jobs with companies pulling out and leaving due to the revolution. Sorry to say it!

There is work here, but you pretty much have to make it for yourself. Its not like coming to the States where you can browse job ads and apply for stuff. My suggestion is to come here with enough savings for 3-6 months and try everything you can. The best way is to get out and meet people.
Things are unstable here, but with instability also comes opportunity. Many ex-pats left, so there are jobs available that weren't available before. Many international companies have had workers leave too but are still heavily invested in Egypt and need staff.
Moving here is a risk but so is moving just about anywhere. Hope this helps.
