Packing staff jobs in Egypt keep showing up if you know the right spots to check. My cousin started in one near Cairo last year and stuck with it for the steady cash flow.
Pay and hours from what I've seen
Starting out you might pull 3000 to 4500 pounds monthly. Overtime bumps that up fast especially during busy export seasons. Shifts run long though eight or ten hours most days.
Thing is some places throw in meal allowances or transport help. Not everywhere does that so ask straight up in interviews.
Where to hunt for openings
Wuzzuf and local Facebook job pages work best for me. Industrial zones like 6th October City always seem to have listings. Food packing and textile spots hire often.
And don't skip word of mouth. Friends in the field hear about new spots before they hit the sites.
Skills needed aren't crazy. Basic reading for labels plus being okay with standing all day. Heavy lifting comes up so stay in decent shape.
Real talk on getting started
Applications move quick once you apply. Some companies want a quick trial shift before full hire. Bring ID and any past work proof even if it's just shop work.
I've noticed speaking a bit of English can open doors with export firms. Not required everywhere but it stands out.
