Is it possible for an american to work in Egypt?

Hi, I have a b.s in marketing from univ. of hawaii and a mba from Texas a&m in the usa. I want to live in egypt because I have fallen in love with everything about the country. Is it possible for me to get a job here? Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start looking? I love the beach and resort areas as well. Cairo is fun, but I would rather live in the real egypt and not be hassled and mistaken for a tourist all the time. Thanks for your help. Jeremy

1. ofc dude you can egypt is the best country to work in and retire, all what u gotta have is good job, experience and ofc your american passport!
2. Of course you can. To start you can go to the American Chamber of Commerce web site and apply there, many Egyptian recruiters use it, here is the link : www.amcham.org.eg You can also try this link and apply for available jobs in Egypt : http://www.gulftalent.com/home/recruitment-and-jobs-in-egypt-1.html Below is a list of top recruitment agencies in Egypt, try it out : Job Masters : www.thejobmasters.com Paulin D'Arcy : www.paulinedarcy.com Promark : www.promarkltd.com Good luck !
3. it wont be easy, but you can try. The best if you try to make a small business. Cafe's and restaurants are the best.
4. no ofcourse not it's pretty easy for you ,you can work as english teacher or in any university but you have to learn some little arabic or you can work in international company because you have ahigh master mba
