Hi there I'll be relocating to Cairo next month & I am currently looking at housing options in 6th of October. As I'll be working in Maadi I just wanted to know how long it would take to drive from 6th of October to Maadi? Cheers Ann

Hi there I'll be relocating to Cairo next month & I am currently looking at housing options in 6th of October. As I'll be working in Maadi I wanted to know how long it would take to drive from 6th of October to Maadi? Also, are there shopping facilities in 6th of October eg. supermarkets/groceries, pharmcacies etc? Cheers Ann

By bus or taxi its about 50 minutes or so. When I was in Cairo last year, they were really building out there. It is close to Media City? There was a community about 10 minutes, that has the shopping. They also had really nice houses. Not sure what 6 October looks like now.

If you are going to be working in Maadi, it is best to live in or near Maadi. The drive in Cairo traffic between 6th of October and Maadi is long and will drive you nuts.
I also find 6th of October to be very isolated and ugly.
I don't want to put you off the idea, just my opinion.
Best of luck to you.

Personally I am not very keen on living in Maadi & I think that real estate prices in Maadi are way over-stated due to the high incidence of expatriates living there.
