I would like to post this for teachers who are considering a position in Egypt with any school, Language Center or Training company. As the Principal of an "American school" (and 14 years living there), I have witnessed certain issues by some private establishment throughout Egypt. Avoid bringing the Police into any disagreement between you and the establishment because, as a foreigner you will not win your case. If you are considering ANY position in Egypt, 1- Get a complete, SIGNED contract that states ALL the conditions outright, nothing verbal, especially in English, (Oh, you didn´t understand the translation), 2- PAY FOR NOTHING UP FRONT, if they want you in this high demand market, let them pay first! 3- Don´t trust ANYTHING verbal. 4- Learn at least a rudimentary Arabic, then you will know what is really going on (don´t say you understand Arabic)
