Ahlan wa sahlan! Marhaba
(Welcome..Welcome) to Al Rehab (New Cairo)! The logo to the right is Al
Rehab's logo you will see it all over the community. It is on
the trash cans. It is on the inner city buses. It is on
the side of buildings. It is everywhere on Al Rehab. Al
Rehab is also known as "New Cairo" or in Arabic Qahirah
Jadeedah. So for a lack of a better word you are still in
Cairo per se but for those who know and understand you live in/on Al
Rehab.
Al Rehab is a fully fledged gated
community and is well known for its amenities and prestige
throughout all of Cairo and Egypt. It is one of the most
lovely communities and fits well within the New Cairo plan. The city covers an area of ten million m2
and is/was designed to accommodate at least 200,000 residents. There
are ten phases, each covering an area of 220 feddans. Each phase is a complete district
offering two kinds of housing arrangements: (1) Villas and (2) flats
or apartments. Most of the resident live in flats or apartments that are
92m2 to 166m2. New Cairo was designed to be broken down in to
10 phases. November 2006 we are only 5 phases have been
completed in about 6 years time. New news: The TMG
Group (Founders of Al Rehab) has started a new city
named MEDINATI. Stay tuned to this website for complete
information. Those wishing to own an apartment or villa on MEDINATI
will have the option of paying it off interest free in 15 years with
low monthly payment contact us for details. Moving to Medinati
is an excellent opportunity for those wishing to make hijrah in the
near future like in 3 years
All facilities are interconnected
throughout the ten different phases to include schools (French,
British, German and English Language), Medical facilities,
commercial i.e. markets (souks), shopping malls, movie theater, food
court, sports club, recreational,
maintenance facilities and much much more. (Below is a
picture of Al Rehab's City Hall Building)
Al Rehab City
Hall (Yes, Al Rehab has it's own City
Hall)
The City Hall building is the
headquarters for EVERYTHING on Al Rehab. It is located near
gate #4. Police and Security headquarters are in the adjacent
building. If you're like most residents you get your monthly
bus pass/ID from the City Hall building. Make sure you bring 2
photos with you. Current cost is 190LE. (I had lived on
Al Rehab for 4 months before I found out where and how
to get a bus pass from. Heck I didn't even know they had
monthly bus passes.) For Information on more about the bus
service go to <Bus
Services> Put you have to be a member to get that
information.
Kids Funland
Near the City Hall building you will find
the Kids Amusement Area. It is nothing like your Six Flags,
Cedar Point, Magic Mountain or Coney Island. However your 2-10
year old(s) are guaranteed to have a blast of a good
time.
On my morning walks I've seen school
buses loaded with children coming to the kid funland spending their
mornings and afternoon here on Al Rehab. More pictures to
follow soon.
Also adjacent to the kids funland area is
a very nice reception hall (pictured below). Many wedding
parties, ceremonies and business function are hosted here.
Across from the outdoor reception hall is the main indoor
hall. Catering with the full trimmings are available (of
course NOT free).
Food Court
There is a food court with McDonalds,
KFC, PizzaHut, La Reve, Tikka, Lebanese food, traditional Egyptian
food (EL-Shabrawy), Costa Coffee and Cinnabon. Grand Mall 2 has
opened with new shops opening daily. Including a new supermarket -
Metro. We were expecting some of International well known
named restaurant to come but that hasn't happened yet. Take a
look at the pictures that were taken November 11th and you will see
that the food court has a nice man made pools with attractive blue
tiles and it is lit up at night to make your outdoor dinning more
pleasurable and of course palm tress galore. Around September
or October the palm trees are filled with delicious ripe
dates. (Updated Photos of the Food Court in January 2008
coming soon).

All of the restaurants on Al Rehab
deliver. If you don't feel like dinning out, don't worry you
simply need to call your favorite restaurant and for 1.50LE
(normally) they will deliver your food piping hot right to your
flat, apartment or villa. Look closely at the next picture and you
will be able to see some small motorbike with hotboxes on the back
of them. These are the deliver bikes..not trucks...
I don't know if this restaurant is famous
or not, but it is has made it's way to the food court! It's
called Los Gauchos (and no this is not a promotional plug, ha
ha)..I'll tell you my favorite takeout joint later! Anyway Los
Gauchos is smack right dead in the center of the food court.
Without a doubt it is beautiful. If you're waiting for a food
review, keep on because I haven't ate in there yet, but it is on my
list of things to do with the wife. When we do eat there, we
will give our reviews in the >Members Section> Ummm the
logo is a Red Bull and they are serving a Argentina Flava to the
citizens and visitors.
