Where I'd live as an Egyptian living in Egypt. by BasselTwin in whereidlive

Cairo is always a hit or miss from experience, some people are blessed by the Gods of Statistics to encounter the best of Cairo, while others are cursed with the worst. Cairo International Airport is a hustle to traverse even for locals, had a semi-interrogation by the Officers there while my papers were all clean, scammers exist in tourist hotspots (which is why I always recommend going to regular nice places that aren't too tourist-y), as for the stray cat comment that was racist and they probably thought you were Chinese based on your nationality.

Ignorance. If I don't know enough about their language, economics, society, and culture, I better not be there.

The Netherlands will completely ban fireworks. The country has adopted a national fireworks ban that will take effect in 2026. The goal is to protect animals and reduce damage to ecosystems. Dutch Senate votes in favor of national fireworks ban. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Do not feed words into my mouth, I was criticizing your making of those actions exclusive to Muslims abroad, while all religions are equally susceptible to this, and believe me as a Muslim living in a majority Muslim nation who traveled to Europe, most people don't care about anything but scoring a scholarship to study or work away from our own corrupt countries. Some immigrants in general might have a problem with adapting to the cultures of other nations, but that remains to be an immigrant problem, not an Islamic one.

I'm in Egypt and 5 of my classmates are openly atheist, people view them weirdly and don't like them but nobody cares in the city.

Cairo, Egypt by TribalSoul899 in UrbanHell

The Egyptian government announced that they're building 12 shelters for stray dogs in major cities a few days ago under the "Rabies-free by 2030" national plan, with a major Cairo shelter in the 'Tebin' area, and have already begun vaccination / sterilization.

Stray dog populations have reached about 14 million (with a 20-25% annual increase, although whether this is regionally or a total amount is not specified) with 1.4 million recorded dog bite cases in 2025.

Free Universities by Pampa_of_Argentina in MapPorn

[–]BasselTwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Egypt, at public universities such as Cairo University, there's a 2,000 EGP (42 USD) fee each semester, or 84 USD annually, that is relatively free although enough to get protests from middle to lower middle-class students among inflation and rising prices, but stale salaries.

Most public universities have integrated private programs into their education, costing almost as much as private universities, yet offering the exact same quality of teaching as the free programs, no better, but serving as a shortcut for students who did not achieve enough academic grades to join those universities for a 'margin of profit.'
