About Program
Teaching in Egypt gives you the chance to immerse yourself in a land rich in both culture and history. From the Nile to the iconic Sphinx and Pyramids, it’s a country that calls out to be explored. Situated near the border of the Middle East and Africa – it’s an exciting gateway to two enthralling continents.
Working in Egypt, teachers have the opportunity to provide instruction within International Baccalaureate schools and private international schools in Alexandria and Cairo. Elementary, middle, and secondary school teaching jobs in Egypt are open to licensed teachers with at least 2 years of experience and an interest in teaching abroad.
As the majority of teaching jobs in Egypt are for certified public school teachers, there are not very many ESL teaching jobs in Egypt for non-certified ESL teachers.
