Rehab City Cairo Egypt


Over the past decade, at least, Cairo has been expanding extremely fast. More and more cities are being built to accommodate the influx of immigrants. One of my personal favourites has to be Rehab City.

Rehab City is part of the New Cairo plan and covers an area of around 10 million m2 , to accommodate around 200,000 residents. It is made up of 10 districts all of which have integrated facilities.  www.alrehabcity.com

Rehab is a community in itself, it is surrounded by desert so the weather is a lot more bearable in the summer time. Every entrance and exit is gated and guarded by security, not to mention the security on the streets. Although it is not neighbouring any other city immediately it is only 10minutes drive away from places like Maadi and Nasr city via the Ring Road.

Rehab has its very own shopping Malls, a fantastic market and a plan to build another. A great food court with many restaurants to choose from including your McDonalds, KFC and Costa Coffee. International British, French and Islamic schools. Its own sporting Club. Range of banks, dentists and doctors. Mosques and Church to cater for all. It even has its very own Rehab Buses....To be honest you really don’t have to leave Rehab at all for anything......


The best thing about Rehab has to be the clean streets and the unbroken roads and amazingly people drive in a much more civilized manor in Rehab...!!!!! There is very little ‘Horn Honking’ and the atmosphere is a lot more relaxed.

Rehab already attracts a lot of immigrants and when you’re out on the street you will hear many languages. The stall holders in the market are also very accustom to the fact that Rehab has many non-Arabic speakers and they are all most willing to help. And if you can’t be bothered to go to the market just get a few numbers of the stalls and shops you like because they all deliver....... Fantastic!!!!

Property prices are a bit more expensive in Rehab than other areas of Egypt. A typical rental of an unfurnished 2 bed flat is around 3000LE or furnished starting from around 4000LE per month. Villas to buy start from around 2million LE. Rehab 2, which is just an expansion of Rehab,  is now in its building process and I feel will be an even bigger success. Its residential and commercial properties are now on sale.... worth considering!!!! www.aradyelarab.com can help you with this.

Rehab really is an amazing addition to Egypt, an excellent place to start a new journey. It feels safe and secure not to mention beautiful (just try to ignore the building sites as it is still expanding...).

Came across this which I thought was interesting....
