Egypt vs Kenya
Two places, side by side — for anyone weighing where to move.
Cost of living
monthly median · solo budget
Cost in the three biggest cities
Egypt's $765/mo monthly cost (across 2 scored cities); Kenya has no monthly cost data yet — not enough data to call a winner.
Safety
safety index
Egypt's 0.8/5 safety score (across 2 scored cities); Kenya's 1.2/5 safety score (across 1 scored city) — not enough data to call a winner.
Getting around
transit & transport systems
Egypt's 1.7/5 mobility score (across 2 scored cities); Kenya's 1.8/5 mobility score (across 1 scored city) — not enough data to call a winner.
Culture
cultural depth
Top cultural centers
Egypt's 3.1/5 culture score (across 2 scored cities); Kenya's 2.9/5 culture score (across 1 scored city) — not enough data to call a winner.
Passport reach
what the passport opens
Egypt's passport reaches 20 destinations visa-free to Kenya's 42 — Kenya opens more doors without a visa. Passport strength shifts over years of naturalisation, not months of planning, so it's a long-horizon footnote — not scored in the tally.
Airports

Egypt is better connected than Kenya — 54M passengers/yr vs 9.0M passengers/yr. Egypt is busier than 58 of 87 countries worldwide; Kenya is quieter than 63 of 87 countries worldwide. Egypt sees ~55 air passengers per 100 residents a year; Kenya sees ~18 air passengers per 100 residents a year — a derived figure, not itself ranked.
Climate
where most people live · °C
Extremes — hottest Garissa 41°C
Egypt runs 3°C to 41°C for most people; Kenya runs 14°C to 32°C for most people. Garissa runs hotter, at 41°C. Depends on you — which range fits your tolerance is the real question here, not a score.
