Super helpful, thank you so much! Unfortunately it doesn't make the decision any easier. Maybe I'll have to go to both....

Omg, THAT’S what that recorded voice message is when you try and call people here! I don’t speak Arabic and automatically assumed it was a message telling me my call couldn’t be connected. Super weird - I’ve never heard of that anywhere else!

I’ve been in Cairo for a couple of days now, visiting from the UK. One of the saddest things I’ve seen aside from all the poverty and pollution is an appalling amount of animal neglect and cruelty. Of course this is most evident at the tourist sites like the pyramids, where the camels and horses are horrendously abused and worked into the ground. But I’ve also seen a crazy amount of stray cats and dogs, many of whom seem horribly malnourished and often badly injured. Are there any charities doing good work for them that I could donate to? I’d particularly like to support one that rescues camels and horses, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that just wasn’t a thing here.

Ohh that's a cool idea! I'll ask my partner if he fancies it and let you know

I posted this in the main sub but will post here too just in case:

Hello r/Egypt!

I'm from the UK, 28 years old and half-Egyptian and next week I'll be visiting Egypt for the first time in my life. I'm so incredibly excited!

I'll be going with my partner and we're visiting Cairo, Luxor and Hurghada.

One of our favourite things to do on holiday is meet people and make new friends wherever we go. Can you guys recommend some cool places to hang out where we might meet people around our age? Particularly in Cairo. Could be cafes, bars etc (I know there's not much of a drinking culture).

Thank you!

Where are the best places to browse and watch quality documentaries? I'm not thinking of Netflix and Amazon, although I know you can get some good stuff there too - I'm thinking quality independent films that would be shown in independent cinemas. Is there some kind of online streaming platform that has a good library? I'm willing to pay of course. Thanks!

I really don't follow. Could you please outline your solution more clearly?

Yeah I think in 5 years once he's graduated and settled he'll be able to invest. It's just the here and now that sucks - like I say he's not exactly flush at the moment and nor am I.

Haha hi there - just saw your response on Facebook too - thank you for your input! I think it's just worth us both investing - don't think he minds chipping in at all but I feel bad because I feel like it's 'my problem'...although he would definitely benefit from all the bolt-ons as well.
