🌿 Bright Apartment in the Heart of Maadi, Cairo
We are offering our spacious 180 m² apartment, located on the first floor in Maadi, one of Cairo’s greenest and most international neighborhoods.
Maadi is a unique part of Cairo — quieter and filled with tree-lined streets, nature, expats, cozy cafés, and local shops — yet still well connected to the energy of the city. It’s a perfect balance of calm and convenience.
Our home is full of natural light, with large windows, a small balcony, and a warm atmosphere. It has:
- A comfortable living room and dining area.
- 3 bedrooms (1 master with en-suite, 2 additional rooms)
- 2 bathrooms
- A fully equipped kitchen
Reliable Wi-Fi (great for remote work)
We are an entrepreneurial couple and will be traveling to France this fall/winter. We’re looking for a home exchange in Bordeaux, Arcachon, or Perpignan between October 20 and January 5 (about 2.5 months).
Cairo in this period is sunny and mild — a wonderful escape from the European winter. 🌞
