The area where you come in is called a courtyard. A very good price at just $300.00/month.
This was really insightful, for $300 in the states you couldn’t even rent out a bathroom for 2 days 😂, so Egypt is looking really affordable! Thanks Akh!

I’m in new cairo too. I have a basement apartment though so we get all the outside space private for just us which is nice. I think 9000 for the size you have is way over priced. Mines 6500 for 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and way bigger rooms. The trick is to get someone who speaks Egyptian to get you a place. You do pay more for furniture though but still that’s a lot. Absolutely love that roof space though!

CLEAN UP THE BALCONY AND MAKE IT LOOK NICE. PUT A STRING OF WHITE LIGHTS ON THE OUTLINE OF THE BALCONY AND PUT A DINING TABLE WITH UMBRELLA OUT THERE. PUT AN OUTDOOR COUCH SET WITH A COFFEE TABLE OUT THERE. PUT SOME CHAIRS AND A FIREPIT OUT THERE AND A BARBECUE.
This is how houses or apartments are in most of the world. In Japan, Germany, Brazil the kitchens are also empty when getting a place and you provide your own stuff and when people move they take everything with them.

Allahuma barik the best part of the apartment is the balcony 😍 mashaAllah I must say tho $300 for that apartment is a little expensive you could get a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in madinatul nasr for a lot less. And if its just you you could rent out the other rooms and that's your rent been paid and your sorted 👌🏼

I've rented a 500 square meter Villa here in Cairo Egypt, the Villa has 3 large bedrooms 3 full baths, and 1 half bath, and a huge kitchen, and 200 square meter resectional and dining room and I paid $313.00 per month, including an apartment on the roof with 4 rooms, 1 kitchen, and 1 large bathroom. This Villa has a big swimming pool.
By looking at the outside looks fantastic I thought the inside would be alot nicer.

Most Egyptians can speak English 😅
You can buy houses that have built in closets.
Dryers are not common in the middle East at least from what I know from living in the UAE and being American Egyptian. Mostly its because 1 most people dry their clothes on a drying rack outside or if they live in a small apartment they use a clothing line and pins out on the balcony to dry their clothes in the sun.
I’m an interior designer by skill and by education with a BAS of Interior Design. I know history and modern techniques of design. Some houses in Egypt include closets and cabinets. Not all homes are setup like yours in Egypt. The roof was in two places. The level you were on was a roof. If people slept on it, they slept there for whatever reason. Nice tour though 👍🏽

Great apartment but the price is most definitely a bit too expensive. You can get the same size (if not bigger) 2 bedroom, 2 bath, decent kitchen dining room living etc for under $70-$100

Lol. The water bill is a set price every month normally. The electricity varies, they have a new system now where you have a meter and a card that you reload money on to of which you insert into the meter to pay you electricity which seem to be more expensive in my opinion. Other than that, you'll just receive a bill each month that you have to pay when the electricity poeple come to your building. Hope this was helpful

95% of the world does not have a clothes dryer. Only Americans. Why? Because it is incredibly expensive in energy cost to just dry your clothes. If you put the clothes on a rack, they dry naturally for free. Closets? Almost all U.S. house construction is wood frame. Even wealthy people. In the rest of the world, it is concrete. The material/labor cost to pour a closet in a room (in concrete) is maybe 20% extra? It also introduces ventilation and electrical problems. Easier to just make the room square (in concrete) and let the resident finish it with a closet/wardrobe.
