American with several Qs!

Hello everyone, I moved to Cairo last month. I live in Heliopolis near the Saint Fatima Church.
I am looking for a dance studio or gym nearby, preferably one that has dance classes, and is not overpriced. Any suggestions?

Also I am looking for health food stores anywhere in Cairo. I am vegan and want to find the best vegan options (no dairy, meat or egg or honey) foods available in Cairo. I also used to live in China and love Chinese and Korean food. What are the best Chinese restaurants in Cairo?

Also I'm very interested in Buddhism and was wondering if there are any other Buddhists here!!

Where are the best outdoor activities to do in Cairo? Any nice parks I should visit? I love nature.

Thanks so much-

check out groups on facebook.....expats in egypt, expats in cairo, expat women in cairo, expat women in egypt etc, etc...
Do a little searching and there should be a page for foreigners in your area,
hope this helps
Good luck

I would recommend you Pro Center Health Club in Nasr City.

You can find more info about everything related to fitness centers in Cairo here. Please check this website: cairogyms.com

As for dance classes, I've heard about The Cairo Contemporary Dance Center, but I have no idea about it.

This website will help you find restaurants and any type of cuisine you like here in Cairo

www.elmenus.com

No, you will not find any Buddhist Egyptians.

You can go out for a walking at the Nile corniche, visit the pyramids or the museum. Cairo is also full of malls, cinemas, clubs, cafes, etc.

Cairo and nature don't mix haha

There are many parks in Cairo like, The International park at Nasr City, Al-Azhar park, The Giza zoo, etc.

Anyways, you can check Cairo360 website. It's a great guide for outdoor activities and life in Cairo.

Re: Buddhism ... this was asked a while ago here. While most responses were from classic vacuum-heads, I think the OP found something (read her pictorial-essay elsewhere) ... Likely, a PM may elicit some response.

Unsure you will find full-blown Buddhists .. though, many of us practice meditation independently (.. or try to!). If you are already a few steps into it - ask, and I will gladly help you network with them.

Re: Vegan .. more power to you! The best bet: buy fresh food and cook. The restaurants would use chicken- and meat-stock to cook most all vegetarian menu - the idea is alien.

PS. The Search box is an excellent tool to seek answers within the country forum.

Thanks!

Hey I live. Ear by and can assist

Yasaalya,
Welcome in Egypt.

I like two pure chinese restaurants in Maadi which i always visit.

Both are run by Chinese people and chinese chefs and cookers.
