Goat sacrifice?

My friend told me that she saw some guy slaughter a goat and took its blood on his hands and put a palm print on the wall of the shop or something. She says its a ritual or something.

Idk any Egyptians who speak English very well to ask them directly so I would be happy if any one of you guys can help me out.

And are there any other stuff like this in Egypt? (Sorry if this is ignorant or inappropriate or anything.) Edit: I’m a muslim btw 😭 obviously it has nothing to do with religion I asked out of sincere curiosity no offence

Teaching English as a niqabi

Assalaamu alaykum everyone,

I am looking for advice on if and where there are schools that would be hiring native speaking English teachers. Either gender-segregated or would allow the teacher to wear niqab.

Preference to teaching young adults and young professionals, not young children.

Salary must meet cost of living and provide a proper work visa, but the rest is negotiable.

Tipping - Dollar bills or Egyptian pounds?

Hi Everyone 😀 I’m currently staying in an all inclusive resort in Sharm El Sheikh and brought dollar bills with me to tip with, as it was my understanding dollars are preferred. However, I’ve since read that dollar bills can’t be exchanged by Egyptians and now I feel bad for giving service providers useless money! I’ve withdrawn some Egyptian pounds now too, but can anyone please advise if my dollar bills are useless to people here and I should just change them when I get home? Any guidance would be most gratefully received. Thank you!

Is there a rave culture in Egypt?

Hi everyone,
I’m a fellow from Tunisia, and I’m doing a little research about the rave and underground electronic music scene in Egypt. I’m curious to learn more about it, and I’d really appreciate any insights from those who are familiar with the scene!

Here are a few questions I’m wondering about:

  1. Is there a strong rave culture in Egypt?
  2. Are there underground raves held in secret locations? If so, how do people usually find out about them?
  3. What genres of music are typically played at these raves? Do certain styles dominate the scene?
  4. Do people mostly rave in clubs, or are there more alternative spaces being used?
  5. How would you describe the vibe and culture of the scene overall?
  6. Are there any standout DJs or artists that are considered key figures in the Egyptian rave scene?
  7. How do people in the community connect with each other—are there specific apps, groups, or word-of-mouth networks?
  8. Does the scene have a visual or fashion identity, like specific styles people wear to raves?

As someone from Tunisia, I’m especially interested in how the scene compares to other countries in the region. Also, if anyone is open to talking privately and anonymously about the use of substances in this scene (what kinds, how they’re accessed, etc.), that would also be really helpful for my research. No judgment at all—it’s purely for understanding the cultural aspect of it.

Feel free to DM me if you prefer to talk privately! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏
