Digital nomad guide to Egypt

Best for: Cairo or Alexandria as cheap, history-dense bases with strong winter weather.

Egypt's tourist visa runs 30 days on arrival and can be extended in-country. Cairo is the necessary base for any serious infrastructure (coworking, fast internet, expat density); Alexandria is the slower Mediterranean alternative. Costs are among the lowest globally for the cultural depth available. The trade-off is the friction — bureaucracy, traffic, and air quality in Cairo are real productivity drags.
