By:  Yasmin El Beih Sat, Jun. 16, 2018 Over the past few years, one group has maintained a strong presence in Egypt: the Russian expat community. Sherif Gad, a manager at the Russian Cultural Center in Cairo, calls it “the largest expat community” in Egypt, estimating that some 45,000 Russian expats are present in the coastal resort town of Hurghada. In each of Sharm El-Sheikh, on the other side of the Red Sea coast, and in Cairo, he says the Russian expat community is between 15,000 and 20,000 residents. “They like the sea, the good weather. Russians often come here for what they don’t have at home: water sports, sunshine,” says Gad, explaining that this is why the majority of the expat community is found in Red Sea towns, in the same manner that most Russian tourists choose to fly into Hurghada or Sharm El-Sheikh for a vacation by the beach as opposed to sightseeing in Luxor, Aswan or Cairo.
