Take her with you if you can , less stressful than employing someone new.
Maybe somesone who have lived there an expat may see you thread and help you , wait and see.
Have a look for older threads as maybe someone else has enquired about Egypt before.
Our maid is filipino and I know she would love to come with us too....plus we totally trust her. I have heard through some other forums that the local maids there are not to be trusted, so I am thinking whats the point?! Jewelsmiddle thanks a million for the links I will through them in a bit - really helpfu. Pepps - yes would love to know about your contact - thank you!

Good luck !
What nationality is she ? . There are flipino maids there, as like anywhere else .
Find out from the company you are going with if there are other expats like you one can contact now before you go.
Computer may not be much help for Egypt, it is not like here . Just look at any program on TV or ask one who has visited or lived there.
Do you think we can take her?? I think we will be on long stay visit visa's so not sure how it will work with her? Been trying to research all day but no luck as of yet....arrrrggggghhhh help
