  • Apartment hunting can be super stressful in a new country but it was honestly so much fun for me seeing new spaces and what they have to offer.
    Which apartment did you like best 1, 2, or 3? Did the cost of living based on what your getting surprise you? Let me know in the comments down below!

      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.

      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.

      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!

    • @jodi2605
      @jodi2605  Рік тому

      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! 😊

    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!

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

    • @jodi2605
      @jodi2605  Рік тому +1

      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!
