How the pay is built
Egyptian-pound base plus flying-hour pay, with USD/EUR per diems on international layovers forming a large share of real income. Repeated pound devaluations make USD equivalents volatile; locally the package is solidly middle-class.
Income is taxed at this base, so compare the figure above against tax-free Gulf packages carefully: a smaller tax-free salary can be worth more in real terms. You fund your own housing, so local rent is the number that decides what this salary is really worth.
Accommodation
Crew are Cairo-based and arrange their own housing; the salary reflects local costs and company transport covers airport reporting for duty.
