I have always been intrigued by the history and culture of Cairo and plan on visiting a few times before considering moving there. I am curious to know how black woman from america are perceived and treated there and are there many black American expats residing there. All feedback is welcomed even if it's unfavorable.

Tina

I have visited Egypt before and have never found color a problem. I'll be moving there April as I would like to retire. It's affordable and money can go so much farther. I don't know what visa I will be able to get as I asked here and they said I would have to discuss once I get there. Stay in touch & if you get there while I'm there of course you are welcomed

Hi there--

I'm a black American and have had no problems here. There are all kinds of people in Cairo and in general, "brown" people tend to blend in. People are pretty welcoming in Egypt in general. Enjoy your trip and please don't hesitate to reach out should you have any questions.
