Dear , as other replies Rehab and New Cairo the best for you as your family work in Heliopolis they are very clean and secure But your Must Must have a car , all foreigners here Love Maadi as it have it's own sole the trees and community you living in and all services around you  and it's clean and secure For find a flat in Maadi and New Cairo I'm very good in that and I will do it free for you but unfortunately I'm not working in Rehab

Thank you all somuch for your insightful help.This has been of great help.Which is closer to Heliopolis?Most people seem to suggest Maadi.We will have a car but I like walking sometimes so I am a little confused with Rehab.And then then I get bad reviews about Maadi being crowded and dirty.so I don't know..I guess when we come we will take a look at the options and area.I will keep your numbers if I need help.Thanks again

Pls another concern.Why are most flats furnished?I am not sure if we need to ship our things?.My concern is I don't want to be scared of my kids destroying something or writing on chairs because they are kids.What are the terms when renting furnished flats?
Also I need a ground floor.flat.Due to my kids.I won't feel comfortable on a higher floor.Do they have back yards where they can play.Are they private.They are used to space and privacy.i am worried because all I see with yards are villas which look normal to me but are expensive,

And also how long can it take to get a place.One week or more?Hope it's not long,I don't like hotels.Thank you

firstly i think you can find apartment less than 2000 USD and  you can find it whether furnished or not , there are both of them , i found apartment in Almaza ( Gulf area ) with 4000 EGP ( Furnished )

It's area inside Heliopolis,( Misr el-Gedida ) (Misr al Jadidah ) and it's very nice also as Heliopolis specially Thawra St.
Check it on Google Map

Thankyou

-If you are going to work in east CAI (like Heliopolis), stay in Madinaty or Rehab. Big gated compounds with 24h security. Well maintained facilities. Private clubs.

Hi,
If Heliopolis your vital location better not to go far like Zamalek or Maadi cause u will spend half day in traffic.
Arround Heliopolis u can find a nice flat less than US$ 1000. If like Rehab City it will be a wise to rent a separate villa againest US$ 1500. A Privat Bus each 20 mn moving to Helioplis and safety.
Best wishes.
Me not mediator, just advice as I am living there.
