Egypt is a fascinating country located in the northeastern corner of Africa. It is famous for its ancient history, especially the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, which attract millions of tourists each year. The Nile River, the longest river in the world, flows through Egypt and has been essential for agriculture and transportation for thousands of years.

How we calculate these numbers

When local data is missing (e.g. salary for a smaller city), we estimate from peer cities in the same country using a median ratio.
