Most places will have WiFi just depends on the plan you buy. They’re farther but sheikh zayed and 6 October are your best bets.

That’s a fantastic idea. I’ll definitely do one in the future. Since it’s such a big city it’s a big topic to cover, but it’s valuable. It was difficult to form a network when I first moved. Took a few months. Thanks for watching!

I’m considering retiring in Egypt from California 😊10 yrs to go 😢
@RashadGoesOutside
@RashadGoesOutside 3 ай бұрын
@holistikaspa3075 sounds like a great plan! Are you thinking of retiring in Cairo specifically or somewhere else in Egypt? The reason I ask is Cairo can be extremely hectic and may not be the average person's ideal retirement environment. That may be exactly what you're looking for (I don't know you), but I wanted to bring it up to be clear. If you're looking for a more laid back environment, Dahab or somewhere in the Sinai might be good to consider as well. Thanks for watching:)

I was born in el Dokki and left Egypt 60 years ago. Unfortunately I can only speak the language, I can’t read or write because I was educated in Canada. I want to go back to Egypt, Canada is not vary good anymore because of the current liberal government. I just don’t know If I will be able to function because I am illiterate in Arabic and am afraid of being taken advantage of because of my advanced age. Perhaps you can explain in your next video how much it cost to purchase a condo in New Cairo and Alexandria and Marissa Matrouh? Thank You.

I am by no means an expert in buying a condo or apartment in Egypt, but I would suggest trying to make contact with some people in Egypt who will be able to help. Having a partner on the ground is the best way to avoid being taken advantage, and being there in person will beat any sort of online searching. New Cairo has lots of apartments/condos available. Best of luck!

@RashadGoesOutside
@RashadGoesOutside Жыл бұрын
The term “great” is relative. The only areas that can be considered walkable are Maadi, downtown, and zamalek. Mohandiseen and Dokki to a lesser extent. The desert suburbs are not walkable at all. You need a car, whether your own or Uber, to get around.

Unfortunately I don't know much about buying property as I only rented. I would try to find someone local to Cairo, ideally an Egyptian native, to advise. Also if you can afford it it would help to be on the ground as well for a bit.

I don't know the Narges Villas area, but Rehab is nice. I knew some people who lived in Rehab and they liked it. It's pretty enclosed, so there are lots of things nearby, and it's not as chaotic as more central parts of Cairo. When I've visited Rehab by car at night, the traffic to get in was pretty bad as there are gates. It depends on where you work. Like I said in the video, I highly advise you to live close to where you work.

It might be pretty hard to find them that cheap, but best bet is to join expat groups or non expat groups posting for furnished apartments. It helps to know people there. People are going to charge more for a foreigner probably. Your best bet is to find people to split an apartment in downtown or Abdeen or nasr city maybe.

Yes, but quality of the accomodation ranges a lot. There are lots of Facebook groups in Arabic that have apartments for rent listed. My advice would be to check those out, and if you can't read Arabic, find someone to help you out who can. The ideal scenario is you know someone in Cairo who can find you a place. @@mariabradshaw4289

Thanks for your comment. I was not attempting to distance Egypt from Africa at all; rather, my focus was only on the city of Cairo and its neighborhoods. I also did not mention the "Arab World" or "The Middle East" much at all, and I didn't even mention other large cities in Egypt like Alexandria, Mansoura, Aswan, or Port Said. Larger categories of geography are not relevant to the video. I hope this answers your question.

Because I am educated. Egypt is situated in the northeastern corner of Africa and also has a small portion of its territory in the Sinai Peninsula, which is considered part of Asia. Egypt is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south, and Libya to the west.
