New Cairo

Where will your and your wife's job location be? ?because that is most important.

New Cairo is one of new districts in Cairo, it has almost everything, but still some don't like it there, if depends on what do u like and what u r looking for. one of things u need to consider is that Cairo streets r too busy.

Can anybody tell me if it is ok for a lone expat to go to the malls on a Friday, I have read that many will only allow women, after all we need to shop to feed ourselves as well

Hello
I just moved down here with husband and 2 girls aged 14 and 12 years.
We moved from Aberdeen - Scotland.
We chose NCBIS. New Cairo British School - New Cairo - I would think fairly new "town" - I guess about half the houses are not finished yet - but there are many mall's resturanter mm.
opposite Maadi - here is "clean" and quiet - people are still running as they have not heard about traffic rules.
While there are demonstrations etc. in the middle of Cairo, we hear nothing of it here in New Cairo - Katameya -
Write again - I would like to help answer your questions
