Is LE 1000 enough to live in Egypt?
When a job offers LE 1000. Is that for a week or a month? And is that enough or no. If it is not enough, what is decent? Thanks. Hi Fozio... I am not an expat. I was just curious to see b/c I know Egyptians who earn that a month there and I was wondering if that would be enough to live. Thank you for your response.

no .. not really .. does the job provide residence and trasnportations as well ? in that case maybe ...
3 :
1000 LE equals 170 US$. Can you live anywhere in the world with such monthly salary? You will mostly pay it for some modest accommodation
4 :
simply .... NO !
5 :
1000 pounds is per month and its enough for a family contains of 2 persons to live for a month. by the way most of people at Egypt get lower than this salary and have families and still live !!
6 :
Most likely this is for month. Many jobs in Egypt and even in the private sector pay less than LE 1000 but it debends on the job anyway. For an Egyptian who is living away from downtown, eating Egyptian food, washing his clothes himself and doing almost everything at home, yes it would be enough and maybe to have a family as well!

Salaries in Egypt are usually on a monthly basis. L.E1000 salary is a disgraceful figure, it is an insulting figure that will not allow even a single person to have a life. L.E1000 can cover the cost of food and a few basic necessities, but that is about it. I know and aknwoeldge that a lot of Egyptians are making less than that figure, but they are way below the poverty line. I assume u r an expat, I can safely bet that this figure is probably the lowest ever salary offered to an expat in the history of this country. Do not even bother rejecting the offer. Yeah, a lot of people earn even below L.E1,000. At this salary you can't do much really. Most people live with their parents, so they dont pay rent, food and basic household expenses. But the 1000 salary wont get them much, they will be able to go out, eat out occassionally but that is about it, no savings.

may be for you only

if you are alone this is ok and it is per month but to live a life like america in Egypt you should take 2000

it is a monthly saary. it is too little unless you are provided accomodation and meals . you have to mention your profession and experience so that i could tell you how much would be decent .

Salaries in Egypt are per month. 1000 pounds is too low to rent, eat etc. If it is only pocket money that is not bad.
