Cairo, Egypt
Personal income tax is progressive up to 27.5% after a fixed allowance, with social insurance deducted at source. The pound has weakened repeatedly, which makes imported goods and private schooling expensive, and rents in the newer districts have climbed faster than local salaries.
Doha, Qatar
No personal income tax is levied on salaries, and employers typically provide housing or an allowance on top of base pay. Everyday services and schooling are expensive, but net pay keeps almost all of the gross figure, which is why savings rates here can be unusually high.
