Apartment Hunting in Egypt! Finding a new place to live!

The first, hands down :)

#1 definitely 💯

Love #1 but love the open layout of #3 😊

[@chiewa73]

Can I ask what you do for work in Egypt. I’m from Toronto also and would love to live there also but I’m worried about jobs and cost of living.

[@pharoahnest]

Hi Helen, I hope you are well. You may try to find a job as an English language teacher at a foreign language school or institute, or in a kindergarten. Then, upon settling in, you can start to move to another job according to your qualifications if you wish. Please pay attention to culture shock. Cities I recommend to live in such as Hurghada or Sharm. Good luck.

[@CBEACH]

Why dont you buy an appartment there, then save up some money and live at alow cost of living? Text me if you have questions.

[@marieberberich4445]

I lived for 4 years im Egypt 1983-1987. The problem is always getting a work permit which is next to impossible to get once you are there. There are 20 milliom people in Cairo and not enough jobs for all those people by a long shot. And Egypt will always take care of their own first. That first apartment looked like it might belong to a high ranking member of the military. I know this because I stayed in such a place once. You didnt mention it but I am sure the rents must be jaw droppimg in all 3 places. The Egyptian currency has been devalued more than once over the last 2 decades. I was a student when I was there and came prepared with money and came back to the U.S. to work in the summer and then went back. This is not going to be as easy as you think. Do your homework first and for God's sake don't sign a lease in Arabic unless you have a trustworthy person translate it first.

[@cindypeterson8003]

Do you still live there ? And what your opinion on Cairo

[@jodi2605]

Hi! No I’m currently travelling. Just like any country there are pros and cons. If going as a tourist make sure to book day trips with reputable companies and read reviews to enhance your experience. If going there to live/work I would ask to speak with a colleague and get their perspective as Cairo is huge and different areas give different vibes. They can also better prepare you for what your expected day to day will be like. Which is different for everyone based on the demands of their work. Hope this helps! 😊

[@princellathomas4293]

#1 Please Make sure They don’t have any Hidden cameras

[@justliving501]

How is the health insurance out there for a foreigner ? I’ve asked this question on a few pax videos in Egypt and most wasn’t sure.

[@jodi2605]

Hi, I think it depends on where you work and what has been given or negotiated in your working contract. Each company is different and may partner with different insurance companies that offers different packages.

[@achimharding]

@@hamdyhindam9339 I do the exact same thing. I got precription lenses in my glasses for $25 in cairo.

[@TRTrayy]

Awesome video. I’m trying to move ‘solo’ abroad begin next year. I have questions like getting around/rideshare, recommend city in Egypt, rental deposit, amazon delivery. Idk Arabic. I have enough passive income. Goal is to save money while living somewhere outside US. Ik you don’t live there anymore but any suggestions? Or Is there anyone/company for consultation or a forum you can suggest. Thanks

[@jodi2605]

Hi there! Congrats on your decision to experiencing living abroad! I would suggest using Uber over taxi, expat communities I’m aware of to live in Al Rehab (Gated community more calm, green spaces and family oriented)& Maadi (busy, lots of expats, restaurant’s). I would suggest Googling realtor companies in Cairo as the company I worked for sorted out housing for me. Good luck I hope you enjoy your time there ☺️

[@TRTrayy]

@@jodi2605 aren’t you just awesome. Great information. Thank you!!!

[@imaan205]

Hi, what website or app did you use to book tours/find apartments?❤❤

[@jodi2605]

I was referred to a Relator by a friend. But you can google realtors in Cairo or even ask the security guards in areas you like if there are any apartments for rent. They usually know and sometimes even have the keys to the apartment so you can view it on the spot!

[@teresalehtonen8499]

How are you CAD in your rental price txt so high? 14000 egyptian is less than 300 USD

[@jodi2605]

This video was filmed years ago! The American dollar is much stronger than the Canadian dollar.

[@Anime1029Knight]

Where is the first apartment located at in Egypt? I love it. I just wish that it had more bedrooms though because my Egyptian relatives & friends would definitely want to come over for a visit. LOL 🎉 plus I am married & we have an 8 years old daughter and we would definitely want more kids in the future, but first we have to find the perfect dream home in Egypt. We love that first apartment’s design style unfortunately it is only a 2 bedroom. Too small for a family expecting to be a larger family soon.

[@jodi2605]

For a bigger place you would def need a villa if you want more bedrooms. Apartments usually have two bedrooms from what I’ve seen in the Rehab area. Good luck!

[@marielyspaduasoto1282]

[@FuadSaif_HomegrownImmigrant]

do you have a review of the apartment you selected? Any tips on Madinaty & New Cairo?

[@jodi2605]

Madinaty for me was to far away. It has a really nice golf club and pool though. However, every time you leave that area you would have to pay a toll. When using Uber I found it annoying because the Uber driver would have to have their own personal cash to pay the toll. And sometimes they didn’t have the cash in hand. Even though I paid the toll price on the app. New Cairo I think has more going on and better accessibility. Hope that’s helps!

How much time do you recommend staying for a visit? I’m not interested in dealing with racism especially if as prevalent as it is in America.

[@jodi2605]

I think that’s something you have to plan for based on all the activities you want to do. Like museums, Nile cruise, pyramids. I would recommend getting a travel agent that can help you plan it out day by day and what is realistic for your time frame and budget.

Hey Jodi. New subbie! I am relocating to Egpyt in the next few weeks. Are you still there? I would love to meet you.

[@jodi2605]

No, I’m not there but there are tons of expats living in an area called Maadi where you can meet great people (local and foreign). There are tons of clubs there also you can join to meet people if your looking to connect for social gatherings. Best of luck with your relocation 😊🌟

[@999_Anti]

Can you please drop your agents details???????

Sorry, I know the relator worked for a company called Windsor in the souk in Rehab. But you can Google apartments in your desired location and websites with realtors will come up. Good luck ☺️

[@yummyseeds8662]

Can you offer any suggestions on the best place to stay for a one week trip? Is one week enough to fully experience the city?

[@jodi2605]

Hi! It depends where in Cairo you are staying. The Mina house has great views of the pyramids, the Four Seasons is downtown and has excellent service. 1 week yes but if you like quiet chill experiences Tunis village is nice for pottery and the hotel is lovely. Hope this helps!
