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...).
