Cost of living compared using Big Mac meals in Cairo and Tel Aviv
Al Jazeera1 min read109 words
AJLabs has introduced a new metric that expresses monthly salaries in terms of the number of Big Mac meals a worker can purchase, providing a simple gauge of purchasing power across regions. The organization’s latest comparison highlights a pronounced gap between Egypt and Israel, using the popular fast‑food sandwich as a common reference point.
According to the data, a typical employee in Cairo can afford roughly 22 Big Mac meals each month, whereas a counterpart in Tel Aviv can purchase more than 200. The disparity reflects differences in wage levels and living costs, illustrating how the same nominal income translates into markedly different consumption capacity in the two cities.
