Anyone lived in Egypt for a long period? What did you think? |
Travel Info I'm considering moving to Egypt this winter so my children can attend school there. I've visited before but not stayed more than 8 weeks. If I go I would be in Egypt 9 months of the year. Without my husband or my family. (My husband can not go because we have a business here that he can not leave) I'm very nervous about this situation. I'm worried about us feeling isolated and alone. I have his family there, which I adore them, but I don't speak fluent Arabic. Which doesn't help any. My kids would have alot of benefits from going to school there. Has anyone had to deal with this kind of situation? If so what was your outcome? Travel Tips i suggest you to just do what you want to do. but, remember you have to meet your husband every 4 months. so that you will never feel alone and isolated as a wife. im afraid and shy to say this but it seems that i got to say it too. a wife really cannot be seperated from his man more than 4 months. i can give you a very useful example. in the time of Caliph Umar al-khattab R.A. he used to walked lonely in the middle of night, seeing what his people do. one night, while doing that, he heard a woman talking with herself sadly, she was missing his man that went out to jihad and she said "if it not because i still has the fearing of God in my heart, i will sleep with another man". all of this because her man has left her more than 4 months. after caliph Umar heard that, he asked her, "what happenned to you?" she said " i miss my husband that had left me for months". after some conversations with her, the caliph went back to his house and asked her daughter about the ability of woman to control her longing for her husband after being separated from him. and the caliph daughter bow, shyly to answer that. the caliph said "Allah never ashamed when it is the true thing". she answered together with signing with her finger, "3 until 4 months". in another narrattion, she said "six or four months". after that, the caliph never let his army went to jihad more than 4 months. and that is the reason why the jama3ah tabligh people only do the khuruj less than 40 days. im a malaysian, and right now is struggling to master arabic. you really have to teach your child arabic, no matter what the condition, beside, they have arabian blood. remember, that arabic is not an easy language to master, you better teach them the language as soon as possible, when they are still kid, so that they never feel difficult to master it and always crying because of its difficulty as what that always happen to me. think about their future , and about their religious life, although you have to sacrifice a lot, because, you have chose this way by marrying your husband, and there is no turning back, only to move forward cleverly. but, dont forget that Allah is always together with us. hope that i do hope you with this answer. Source(s): im a malaysian, studying in Al-Azhar, Egypt. Other Travel Tips I would go. Have fun and live life. I think you should stay where you are. Whatever benefit your children would have from being educated in Egypt would be underscored by having your family torn apart for 9 months out of the year. I think Egypt is great, but why would you want to split up your family for such long periods of time? Take your children away from their father for 9 months and you away from your husband for 9 months? Life is too short for this. Surely there are schools in the country you live in. It would be ideal..... if you want your children to become jihadists. if you want to giver your kids a 3rd world class education. if you want to live in a backwards society... sure go for it! Dear , first of all any act that we do in our life is at the beginning difficult. just think about yourself when you where learning to ride the bicycle. i am answering you to tell you that nowadays there are schools in Egypt that are equivalent to the same schools in USA and UK. those schools allow immediate access to the universities in USA and UK without any extra exams. beside that your children will learn Arabic which is a language more in their life. they will learn also how the Egyptian live and as i learned by my self living in many countries for long periods gives you a certain experience different than one that lived his life in just one country. personally i lived for long period ( more than four years) in Egypt ,Saudi Arabia, Italy , USA. and lived in other countries less than four years. your in-laws will have a wonderful time with you children and will try to help you as much as they can. and you will learn Arabic. regarding your husband he could come to visit you for just a week every three-four month. when your kids grow older this experience will benefit them. regarding the answer of that racist who has an American and israeli flag do not listen to him and does a dog bother a human when it barks? best of luck. an egyptian living in usa |
