Egypt is one of the oldest and culturally richest nations in the entire world. The well-known historical monuments are worth a lifetime of sightseeing and exploring and the country’s coastline is packed with breathtaking beaches.
While the Egyptian educational and healthcare systems don’t offer decent options for the native population, expats can enjoy international and premium options that are of great quality but, of course, come at a much higher price.
So, if you’ve managed to find some great conditions for relocating to Egypt, you can take a look at the following tables and analyze how prices for hiring a 20-feet or 40-feet shipping container vary. That can help you understand how much you can expect to pay for shipping your household valuables to or from Egypt.

The countries of Africa and the East are not mentioned, it’s a real shame, apart from that the prices are quite interesting (original comment written in French)

Good afternoon!
I was wondering how much it would cost to transport approximately five 40f containers with logs from Riga to Egypt. (Comment originally written in Latvian)
