Teaching in Egypt largely means working in Cairo or Alexandria, where there are many private language schools, generally catering to adults. There's quite a big market for people wanting to learn both conversational and business English. Try contacting one of the following:

 

British Council , 192 Corniche el-Nil, Aguza, Cairo (tel 02/344-8445); 9 Sharia Al-Batalassa, Alexandria (tel 03/482-0199, hala.Rizk@eg.britcoun.org). An RSA TEFL certificate is required for jobs at the British Council, who recruit most of their staff in Britain (head office: 10 Spring Gardens, London SW1; tel 020/7930 8466). Vacancies do occur locally from time to time, however. Pays good rates.

International Language Institute (ILI) , 2 Sharia Mohammed Bayoumi, Heliopolis, Cairo (tel 02/418-9212, email: ili@ritsec3.com.eg). Affiliated to International House. ILI require an RSA TEFL certificate and a university degree. High turnover of staff, so a good chance of work. Rates are slightly lower than at the British Council.
