Why Maadi is one of Cairo’s most popular rental areas

Maadi blends leafy residential streets with international schools, embassies, cafés, gyms, and a strong expat community—especially in Degla and Sarayat.

For many renters comparing areas like Zamalek or New Cairo, Maadi offers a compelling mix of space, greenery, and convenience, with a wide spectrum of options from budget-friendly apartments to premium villas and penthouses.
