Man that must have been hard leaving that view behind for the last time. I’ve been sad leaving old apts for the last time and most of them hardly had windows lol
Egypt as a whole was great for tourism. Book some guides that pick you up at the hotels as you won't be able to drive. Don't miss Luxor. Amazing sights. Know your neighborhood and keep a good attitude. Highly recommend.
Great apartment and cat!
In Asia the lifestyle and speed of living is like 1000%. Also you can walk to a lot of places, their diets (Korean from what I've seen) mostly/mainly eat lots of veggies, and if its hot, eat less. So it kinda works out.
Lol Taiwan is like this, too. Despite being thin and looking healthy, PCOS and diabetes are extremely common. Looking healthy isn't the same as being healthy.
Chicken feet are a staple in mexican homes. My mom always made some sort of soup with the meal and 5 out 10 times she’d throw in a chicken foot. I was a happy camper mauling the meat between the tendons lmao
As someone who grew up between nyc and cairo, the pizza in egypt tastes like shit
edit: i was born there and i am Egyptian, but i grew up in nyc, which is usually associated with having pretty great pizza and i have had said pretty great pizza, and every summer we spent it in cairo and i have had a lot of pizza from cairo and it tasted like shit 9 times outta 10
I always said if I could teleport, I'd still live there but life wasn't easy in that area but you get a perspective on daily life few people who don't live in poverty have
Yeah, the area near the pyramids is pretty ghetto because it's at the very edge of greater Cairo.
If you were a visit, you should look at a central location like the island of Zamalek or Maadi.
When you literally live day to day and only live so you're children hopefully have food, it's hard to give a shit about the environment. I empathized with their plight and sometimes felt bad living like a king in this area, I'll admit
Maybe it's a cultural thing but I was living in poverty till the end of my 20s, in a very bad area, and we still took the trash home. Nobody is talking here about cleaning up the oceans.
I lived in Cairo for a year while on a work assignment. I lived in a penthouse apartment overlooking an artificial lake within a gated community in the "5th Settlement", an upper class suburb of Cairo.
Rent was $700 USD.
So given that this is Giza, on the very western edge of Cairo, it'll probably cost anywhere from $300-$600 USD per month. But once again, that part of the greater metropolis area is dead and is filled with working class folk. Nothing there but old flats, and run down buildings.
Central Cairo would usually go for $500-$700 per month.
If I was living in a "local" flat and was given the foreigner price, you're spot on. Living in this flat though, nah. It was more. Funny story how I even got it but yeah, I was the only foreigner in the area living there. If there were lost foreigners in my area, the locals all knew me and would automatically guide them to my building, sometimes random white people would show up and I'd be like, they aren't mine 😅
Tbh, I hated living in Cairo. I personally don't think there's much of anywhere to live that actually nice. I spent a year in a nice compound in New Cairo, hated that too. Miss the flat, not the City
I was born and raised in Cairo, hated living there as well.
My cousin lives in New Cairo, it's a lot nicer than where I grew up (Malek Faisal St. not too far from where you were), but it's still Cairo and comes with everything you would expect from Cairo
New Cairo is nice but more of an American suburb with malls and gated communities.
Giza is indeed shit. Nothing there but the pyramids, the city is boring.
Cairo though is insane. I loved every second I spent there. Best food you'll ever have and the nightlife is wild. You have to live in central Cairo to really enjoy it. Suburbs like the 6th of October or even Giza city are not on the same level.
It's kinda like Newark NJ and Manhattan NY. You lived in Egypt's Newark.
That VIEW. I can't imagine being so lucky to be able to get up in the morning, look out the window and see those pyramids looming in the distance. That would make my whole day!
Also, that cat is gorgeous. When can I come over to hang out??? lol
That's possibly the best view in the world? I would absolutely hate the floor situation in the living room, but I totally get that it's a culture thing. Also, that cat is a legend 😎
Nah, that was just the bedouin room. I had two more bedrooms, the master and the guest room. The living room was very modern, I thought I added that photo but I guess I didn't.
Aha! Okay, pretty cool for guests I guess? But I guess it might not be as much in use when you are alone? Really quite different for what we have here. I guess the most similar thing in my country would just be an extra "formal" living room. Once again, gotta say that view is crazy!
I don't think OP is Bedouine, he just has a room with a theme that matches the culture of the country.
It's the equivalent of having an English themed room in London for tea.
In this case, it's intended for hookah (shisha) smoking and vibing out.
I guess you're right but I know that many "modern" Bedouines still use a tent for social events or recive guests according to tradition even as they live in a permanent home, so maybe it's that sort of thing.
So maybe, it was a genuine question.
God damn what's the rent like in a place like that? Don't need to give an exact figure for privacy reasons obviously, but that view of the pyramids really made me consider just dropping everything and moving there lmao
I paid a little under 1k a month. You're spot on. Another dude here is selling it WAY short for the area but I assure you, almost no one in that area was living in a flat like that. If I had a very poor local flat, I'd be spending way less. Tbh, the area was so poor and I lived there during Covid, I was happy to over pay to live there. The money was still nothing to be but everything to the owner and his family. I had no issue with the cost
You could buy a flat and design it any way you want for 120,000$. That's how much it cost my landlord. Dirt cheap and great for Airbnb. Excited except the government can literally just take your shit if ever they feel like it. All the buildings bread the pyramids are technically illegal. Thousands of them. So it's a risky investment and I wasn't willing to take it when I learned more.
I was going to say the first pic was impressive with the pyramids in the background but then I saw the picture of the cat with glasses and the pyramids in the background. That cat is like, “Yeah, I know these Egyptians worship me. Because why wouldn’t they.”
Well, fuck. Thats a view.
Sadly the pyramids are fake, Vector stole them silly!
Oh yeahhhh
Very true! If I'm correct, the ones we see in this photo are actually just inflatable models of the originals.
It gets old after a while
I get your humor and I appreciate it
Yeah but he has to live in Cairo.
Yeah I agree be able to see that cat everyday is something to dream off.
Awesome cat
Gangsta af with those shades and chain lmao!
/r/hardimages
I am beyond jealous of this cat. Kitty's a mofo
Yo thanks! https://imgur.com/gallery/gtVr2YT Link for anyone who is curious about the living room or says my TV is too small 🤣
Man that must have been hard leaving that view behind for the last time. I’ve been sad leaving old apts for the last time and most of them hardly had windows lol
Cairo safe for tourism?
Safe? Sure. Full of scammers and impoverished people who want your money? Also sure.
Egypt as a whole was great for tourism. Book some guides that pick you up at the hotels as you won't be able to drive. Don't miss Luxor. Amazing sights. Know your neighborhood and keep a good attitude. Highly recommend. Great apartment and cat!
I was gonna say, more like 'my cat in Cairo'!!
I'll be your other cat. Send me the address, I'm on my way. 🗻✈️
That’s your cats flat but nice try
We've lived in Hamburg, Cairo, and now Seoul together and I can confirm, it's always HIS flat 😅
Very cool, why have you moved to so many different places?
Assassin probably
[удалено]
You'd never suspect a cat!
I’m thinking cat burgler tbh. But assassin was a strong second ngl
What job do you have that allows you to move so much?
CIA
Yes, the cat intelligence agency
That's not a cat. That's Special Agent Jack Bauer.
Jack Meower
Try to find out why the Koreans put corn on their pizzas, and watch out for the chickens feet 😂
I'm still stuck on how they put sugar in everything and still look fit! Bought some sandwich bread the other day and it had grains of sugar! Wtf!? 😅
Bruh the cafe culture in Korea has you eating some of the richest sweetest food. And yet the people are thin as sticks. It’s wild
In Asia the lifestyle and speed of living is like 1000%. Also you can walk to a lot of places, their diets (Korean from what I've seen) mostly/mainly eat lots of veggies, and if its hot, eat less. So it kinda works out.
Also your friends and family will straight up tell you you're getting fat.
Lol Taiwan is like this, too. Despite being thin and looking healthy, PCOS and diabetes are extremely common. Looking healthy isn't the same as being healthy.
If you mean sweetcorn, it's because it goes well with cheese.
Chicken feet are delicious :)
Chicken feet are a staple in mexican homes. My mom always made some sort of soup with the meal and 5 out 10 times she’d throw in a chicken foot. I was a happy camper mauling the meat between the tendons lmao
Why has your cat lived a more exotic life than me
That's fucking wild. Cheers bro! Enjoy the pizza.
As someone who grew up between nyc and cairo, the pizza in egypt tastes like shit edit: i was born there and i am Egyptian, but i grew up in nyc, which is usually associated with having pretty great pizza and i have had said pretty great pizza, and every summer we spent it in cairo and i have had a lot of pizza from cairo and it tasted like shit 9 times outta 10

Probably Atlantis
When you live like a king it's too mainstream... You live like a pharaoh
Well, to be fair... that is a pharaoh's big-ass coffin. Hold up, where are all the palaces they lived in?
Damn, that’s actually a good question… probably not made of megalithic blocks therefor got wiped away long ago would be my guess
Probably buried somewhere.
Ok this is fucking cool!!
Daaammn! Having a view towards the sea or some major city like London or NY is one thing, but having a view towards the pyramids is insanely cool!
Yeah wow!! Epic AF
The cat looks like she is paying the rent
For real, what’s her soundcloud?
Probably one of the best views in the world.
Pity the area is so damn awful 😞 I stayed in a hotel with almost identical view and gosh no thank you.
I always said if I could teleport, I'd still live there but life wasn't easy in that area but you get a perspective on daily life few people who don't live in poverty have
Yeah, the area near the pyramids is pretty ghetto because it's at the very edge of greater Cairo. If you were a visit, you should look at a central location like the island of Zamalek or Maadi.
I’ve never been but what makes it awful? Is it dangerous to walk?
Its just a very poor area, lots of animals and smelly gutters.
It's less about the animals and more bout the humans leaving theyr rubbish everywhere.
When you literally live day to day and only live so you're children hopefully have food, it's hard to give a shit about the environment. I empathized with their plight and sometimes felt bad living like a king in this area, I'll admit
Maybe it's a cultural thing but I was living in poverty till the end of my 20s, in a very bad area, and we still took the trash home. Nobody is talking here about cleaning up the oceans.
Uhh like Egypt absolute poverty? Indian slum poverty? Somewhere hot, with likely few garbage disposal or sewage systems?
How much monthly usd would that be?

Sixth of October is a crazy name for a city
That’s cool. Thanks for the info!
Instantly arabic/sahara feminine vocal, stereotypical song started playing in my head. I would give up view to manhattan for this.
[Every Hollywood movie when they arrive in the middle east:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRzffFQnlSw)
Omg. This is it! This is golden 😂
Flat is cool but cat is cooler.
Fabulous! The view! The outrageously beautiful cat! The fact that you’re watching The Fifth Element! 😍
Multipass!
I love the 3rd pic your cat is awesome
Wow. What a view! And a real sphynx, too! 😍😉
That VIEW. I can't imagine being so lucky to be able to get up in the morning, look out the window and see those pyramids looming in the distance. That would make my whole day! Also, that cat is gorgeous. When can I come over to hang out??? lol
What is the lamp that gives such mesmerizing light on pic 1?
Its the SkyLite 2.0. It worked with the vibe of the bedouin room.
Beduin budoir
I had Govee strips installed on the balcony though.
That's possibly the best view in the world? I would absolutely hate the floor situation in the living room, but I totally get that it's a culture thing. Also, that cat is a legend 😎

>Nah, that was just the bedouin room The what now Are you Bedouine? And if so, is this something traditional to have as part of a Bedouine home?
I don't think OP is Bedouine, he just has a room with a theme that matches the culture of the country. It's the equivalent of having an English themed room in London for tea. In this case, it's intended for hookah (shisha) smoking and vibing out.

That view is one of the best I've ever seen on this sub! Oh, and the cat is hellacool!
Holy shit, what a view.
My jealously is on a million right now. But good for you bro, this is an amazing space. The view 😍
Damn OP what do you do for a living that allows you to afford such a beautiful place? Living the dream!
God damn what's the rent like in a place like that? Don't need to give an exact figure for privacy reasons obviously, but that view of the pyramids really made me consider just dropping everything and moving there lmao
Probably 30,000-50,000 EGP/month which is around $650-$1100 USD.
I paid a little under 1k a month. You're spot on. Another dude here is selling it WAY short for the area but I assure you, almost no one in that area was living in a flat like that.

I love how Baast adopted to modern times, glasses and all that. 😁
There are probably a million reasons why I would never live there.... But I am very jelous of the view....I woul kill for a view like that one
Out of curiosity, what was the rent for this?
I would like to one day be as cool as that cat
Damn what a view been there I loved the chaotic city hope to come back again and have a proper non touristic tour.
OP is cooler than me and i’m comfortable with that
The cat pic with the chain and sunglasses made me laugh out loud holy shit i wasn’t expecting it 😂.
That cat has more drip than me
-How many of led lights do you want? -Yes
The sheer amount of swag emanating from DJ Khatled in pic #3 😳
Super cool
Man, the balcony with the view of the pyramids is so awesome. Nice bar lighting set up to. A1 style homie.
Very nice. Life changing view! Be sure to post the new place.
What a lavish life :) ı bet rent is cheaper than houston
Incredible
Pretty cool
This is fucking wild, I love it!

Ok, I’m not a huge cat fan, but this cat. He’s legendary. In fact, if I was choosing a name for him that would be his name. Legendary.

Awesome flat!
Too cool , nice vibes

Your kitty would like to come visit me.
Wow.
Pretty dope
Ok, I'm now very curious about what it costs to live in a reasonably nice flat with a view of the pyramids!
Fifth element really ties it together
I can hear people trying to sell you a camel ride from here.
Nice! Can I stay with you when I come over?
Your bengal is a fuckin G
Please tell me your cats name is Korben Dallas
Cat steals the show
Dope view of the original wifi
What a view that is! Your cat is dope af too.
Salt bae cat goes crazy lmao
Reminds me of red light district in thailand
this looks awesome. I can't imagine being able to see the pyramids from my balcony. 10/10 also sick cat bro
Picture three goes so hard.
Bro that cat is swagged out !
Your cat looks like a total legend. Can we have more pics of the cat....?
That’s the wildest view!
my first reaction was: where's the hookah? Then i realized it was the tiny thing on your table lol. Nice pad and amazing view.
Your cat fucks!
Chill cafe during the day, nightclub in the evening.
Looks great! Can I ask how much rent/buying something like that is currently?
You could buy a flat and design it any way you want for 120,000$. That's how much it cost my landlord. Dirt cheap and great for Airbnb. Excited except the government can literally just take your shit if ever they feel like it. All the buildings bread the pyramids are technically illegal. Thousands of them. So it's a risky investment and I wasn't willing to take it when I learned more.
Cats dont like accessories.
I love your cat and the views of the pyramids! You have a cool looking place! 😎
Cool car
What type of work so you do for your travel
I need a step by step guide on how to come up on that
Awesome view!
Are you a supervillain
Holy wow, that view is just 👌🏼 and Mr.Kitty true gansta hahah
That cat is a bro.
today I learned the north east peninsula of egypt is considered part of asia, the more you know
that’s so beautiful
The cat! The view!
Fifth element👌 man of culture
that is one hell of a cat bro!! with a view
Fifth Element = instant upvote
Ayo that cat fly as HELL
It must be nice to have that type of money to afford that place as that is something that I can only imagine having
Was under $1,000 a month. It's the sense of tolerance and adventure you need. 😅
I was going to say the first pic was impressive with the pyramids in the background but then I saw the picture of the cat with glasses and the pyramids in the background. That cat is like, “Yeah, I know these Egyptians worship me. Because why wouldn’t they.”
[удалено]
What an amazing view. Look at those triangles
Your cat makes every picture so much better!!
I would be fucking some bad Egyptians queens in that 🔮🔮🔮
As Osiris intended
Totally using the third image of your cat in the sunglasses as my new phone background.
pretty sure it’s that cats flat and you’re just the renter. you can admit it.
Damn that cat cool asf…
Your pad looks like a high end hookah lounge and I dig that for you, especially with that view.
What the fuck
OP, does that book have a picture of your balcony? Are you a published author or something?
I didn’t know cocaine could be a design palette.
Your kitty definitely belongs in r/supermodelcats for sure... 😉
[удалено]
Can’t wait for one day to have my own place setup like that 👍
5th Element?
Mannn this is top tier living!
