Managing child-related expenses in Egypt
Coming from a country where education is free, I would say this is the most significant expense. For a good international school with your home country program costs will be about 130K EGP + uniform + bus + meals.
For sports we registered our son to a football academy and it costs 2000 EGP/month.
We will also provide him courses because he struggles in maths and the cost is 500 EGP per hour as it's someone native.
In my home country I don't pay for school, and sports are very cheap to encourage it. So the cost in Egypt is MUCH more that what I would pay at home
