Tour Of My $300 Apartment In New Cairo EGYPT 🇪🇬!!

The nostalgia with the little kid in the street and the sound of cars honking. I miss Egypt so much 😢

[@LVXD0]

IKR!

[@blususpect]

This was really insightful, for $300 in the states you couldn’t even rent out a bathroom for 2 days 😂, so Egypt is looking really affordable! Thanks Akh!

[@ummhhrzem6199]

I’m in new cairo too. I have a basement apartment though so we get all the outside space private for just us which is nice. I think 9000 for the size you have is way over priced. Mines 6500 for 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and way bigger rooms. The trick is to get someone who speaks Egyptian to get you a place. You do pay more for furniture though but still that’s a lot. Absolutely love that roof space though!

Dryers are not common in the middle East at least from what I know from living in the UAE and being American Egyptian. Mostly its because 1 most people dry their clothes on a drying rack outside or if they live in a small apartment they use a clothing line and pins out on the balcony to dry their clothes in the sun.

[@walliegoolsby5389]

I was stationed in Germany and they don’t have closets or cabinets in their homes or apartments. When they say unfurnished it is exactly that.

[@Kev4Kev]

This is how houses or apartments are in most of the world. In Japan, Germany, Brazil the kitchens are also empty when getting a place and you provide your own stuff and when people move they take everything with them.

[@authenticallyab]

Oh wow. Thanks, that's interesting.

[@jm7804]

If you aren't Muslim and male, then the middle east is not a very welcoming place. The apartment is $300 a month because the average yearly wage in Egypt is $5,000. That $3,500 a month apartment in NYC when you're making $100,000 a year is looking better and better. Don't pack your bags just yet folks.

95% of the world does not have a clothes dryer. Only Americans. Why? Because it is incredibly expensive in energy cost to just dry your clothes. If you put the clothes on a rack, they dry naturally for free. Closets? Almost all U.S. house construction is wood frame. Even wealthy people. In the rest of the world, it is concrete. The material/labor cost to pour a closet in a room (in concrete) is maybe 20% extra? It also introduces ventilation and electrical problems. Easier to just make the room square (in concrete) and let the resident finish it with a closet/wardrobe.

I’m an interior designer by skill and by education with a BAS of Interior Design. I know history and modern techniques of design. Some houses in Egypt include closets and cabinets.

Lol. The water bill is a set price every month normally. The electricity varies, they have a new system now where you have a meter and a card that you reload money on to of which you insert into the meter to pay you electricity which seem to be more expensive in my opinion.
