Living in Giza
Egypt · desert
Giza is a big city of roughly 4,400,000 people right by the sea in Egypt. The climate is desert. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $950. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for history, food and eating out, swimming.
La sanità privata (4/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (1/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. Vivere fuori rete qui non è praticabile: l’allaccio alle reti è di fatto obbligatorio. Gli affitti sono saliti di circa il 104% in cinque anni: chi arriva oggi non trova i prezzi di cui ha letto. Starlink e l’internet satellitare non sono utilizzabili in questo paese.
