الملخص EN

Egypt is the largest labor exporting Arab country in the Middle East and about 95% of those labor migrants are attracted to Arab countries.

Egyptians migrants are concentrated in a specific number of these countries, namely Saudi Arabia, Libya, Kuwait and Jordan, respectively.

Therefore, the study focused on monitoring the differences between Egyptian emigrants according to the receiving country and identifying the determinants of selecting such destinations during the period 2000-2013, based on the data obtained from the “International Migration Survey-Egypt 2013” which was carried out by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics-Egypt.

The results indicated that there are two patterns that distinguish migrants according to the receiving country, as the migrants to Libya and Jordan were the most youthful and the least educated and mainly engaged in agricultural work, while the migrants to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are older and working in craftsmen activities.

The migrants to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were also more stable compared to other countries.

The results of the multiple nominal logistic regression model showed that the profession at the time of emigration was the critical variable for the choice of the destination country, as well as the variable of educational status, except for Kuwait.

The results also showed a fall back in the role of migration networks in the decision to migrate, in addition to the fact that the oil countries are the most stable countries for emigrants.
