I went to Egypt

[محمود فارح]

I went to Egypt to study medicine and engineering, and this is my second day here, but I saw something interesting. There are two places where Somalis live. The first is an entire neighborhood that is less luxurious and has poor infrastructure, but the majority of it is young people who study at Al-Azhar and some families. I went there, brother, as if I were living in Somalia. Somali restaurants/shops for everything, haha. I did not expect this huge number. There is also a place nearby where Somalis live, but it is cleaner and its infrastructure is higher, and it is inhabited by Somali expatriates with their families from America and the diaspora. I have not gone there yet, but it is possible.

The second neighborhood, as I am told, is completely Somali, but its infrastructure is better than the first. I currently live in the first neighborhood with young Somali men, and frankly, it is really fun, but the crazy thing is that the house I live in now does not have air conditioning, lol

Do you have a western passport?? This is an interesting approach to breaking into these fields if your an American or European.

I'm too lazy to edit, the shortcut is either medicine or engineering, especially nursing or software engineering

No, I have a Somali passport, but I have some Somali acquaintances. They will give me a scholarship to study at Cairo University (classified as the first university in Egypt). I was told that the majority of scholarships are given to Somalis.

Have you been to any other African countries besides Egypt?

If so how does Egypt compare to them?

Why study engineering in Egypt? Why not in the west?
