Hello, my name is Mimi and I just moved to El Rehab City 7 weeks ago. I'm originally from NYC (born and raised in the big apple) and I'm looking to make new friends in the area. I was wondering if anyone knew of any expat groups in el rehab. if you do, please share the info. I'd be very happy to start making friends.

If there aren't any then I'd love to get one started

Hi Mimi Welcome to Egypt
I am from Denmark but have lived for the last 5 years in Aberdeen, Scotland.
I live in Katameya but it will not be a big problem to come to El Rehab - or it could be great with the company for exploring the city (not the night life)

A friend of mine recommended TIVOLI in New cairo. I'm not sure where that is but is anyone familiar with it?

and Eagle in Egypt, I see that you're in Madinity. I haven't been there yet and I'm too eager to venture into that part of the neighborhood...lol. too curious to see what's behind that arch..lol. is there anything in there you would recommend? i say we shoot for something within the next week or so. what days are best for everyone?

and GithaU, are you interested in an outing?

Hi meems74 or should I say Howdy?

In Madinaty there are two cafe/ coffee places and one that's more of a restaurant. There fairly quiet, one gets busy, as the area is still developing. I enquired at the sports centre, there is a Gym & Tennis with a 25 mtr pool due to open July. I'm looking to explore more too

Could all get lost together

sounds like a plan, Stan. let me check my schedule and I have a neighbor who is technically an expat and would like to join. let's see if any other "Rehabian" expats would like to add their input. so the cafe in madinity sounds nice as I've never seen it and we can take it from there. how is the June 22nd or 23rd for you?

You are welcome. I am a proud owner in Madinaty (and a wannabe-landlord now that I am out of Egypt and looking for a tenant) and the founder of Madinaty Residents Union (also known as The Coalition) which is a lobby group to push the property developer to finish what they are late in delivering .....

Which group do you stay in? I assume G13 where everyone is at the moment.

Enjoy. I miss it very much since I left two months ago

Btw, you still have to correct it in your profile "From" field and description

Let me know if you need any help with the City Council, services .... I know The City Hall president personally and I still have my contacts.

Last but not least, I urge you to join the Madinaty Anglophones Facebook Group. It's a group of both Expats and Egyptians where chats about the city is strictly English.

As far as I know there is no 9th phase of Rehab (at least not near the club and/or the mall). The place there is the third phase (30 something group) and near the food court it's the 2nd phase (20 something group). I have never heard of 90 something group. But anyways, you know better of course

there's also a 10th phase and Rehab 2 that's already built. the groups are already into the 130's...you need to come in more often. I'm the 4th phase and Amarka is in the 5th phase..

I'm going to start a new thread called "Rehab Group Meetings". I'll post ideas on there and we'll see how it goes. I'm open for suggestions as well.

Lot of expatriates in Rehab. You are from which country? I am staying in Rehab City near gate #17. Maybe I will be able to find somebody from your country itself.

Oh, I was just advised there is a fee to enter the Club if you're not a member. If this is an issue for anyone then we can move the location to Escolino's Coffee shop in the Souk, right across the street from the banking sector.
