What are the pros and cons of living in Maadi?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Maadi responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Maadi, often like the green and leafy neighborhoods, which provide a peaceful and quiet atmosphere compared to the bustling city center. They appreciate the wide range of international schools, making it a suitable place for families with children. The presence of numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops catering to expats and offering international cuisine is another attractive feature. Maadi also has a strong sense of community, with various clubs and organizations that help expats connect and socialize. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may dislike the traffic congestion and lack of public transportation options in Maadi, which can make commuting to other parts of Cairo challenging. The cost of living, particularly for housing, can be relatively high compared to other neighborhoods in Cairo. Some may also find the area to be too isolated from the city's cultural and historical attractions. Additionally, the quality of internet services may not always meet the expectations of digital nomads who rely on stable and fast connections for their work," explained one expat living in Maadi.
