In the current Cairo real estate market, finding a property that ticks the boxes of “Prime Location,” “Renovated Condition,” and “Affordable Price” is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. This Renovated Apartment for Rent in Degla Maadi is that rare exception. Ideally situated in the walkable heart of Degla, it offers a refined living experience without the premium price tag usually associated with this district.
At Edara Property Services, we understand that value is not just about cheap rent; it’s about what you get for your money. Listed at an incredibly attractive 25,000 EGP (approx. $500 USD) per month, this residence is the ultimate “Smart Choice” for teachers, digital nomads, or couples who want to invest in their lifestyle rather than just their rent check.

Inside the Residence: Warmth Meets Functionality
The Living Area: Sun-Drenched & Classic
The moment you enter, the first thing you notice is the golden hue of the parquet flooring. Unlike cold ceramic tiles, parquet adds immediate warmth and acoustic insulation to a home, a feature often found only in Maadi’s heritage buildings.
The living room is bathed in natural light, thanks to the wide windows that allow the sun to flood the space. As seen in our tour, the layout is versatile; it easily accommodates a comfortable sofa set, a coffee table, and a dedicated dining area. The neutral wall colors (part of the full renovation) provide a blank canvas for you to imprint your personal style, whether it be bohemian chic or modern minimalist.
The Kitchen: Practicality First
The kitchen in this unit is designed for the practical cook. It features solid wooden cabinetry in a rich brown tone, offering ample storage space for all your culinary gadgets and groceries. The granite countertops are durable and easy to clean. Importantly, the layout leaves specific spaces for your washing machine, stove, and refrigerator, ensuring a hassle-free move-in process where everything fits exactly where it should.
The Private Quarters
The apartment features 2 bedrooms, making it a flexible space.
- Primary Bedroom: Spacious enough for a Queen/King bed and wardrobe, featuring the same warm wood flooring.
- Secondary Bedroom: Perfect as a guest room or a home office. For remote workers, having a separate room with a door is crucial for focus, and this unit delivers that solution at a fraction of the cost of a 3-bedroom unit.
With 2 bathrooms, the morning rush is eliminated, providing privacy and convenience for both residents and guests.
Neighborhood Analysis: The “Degla” Advantage
Why is Degla Maadi the most requested area by expatriates? Because it offers a lifestyle that is rarely found elsewhere in Cairo: Walkability.
A Car-Optional Lifestyle
Living in this apartment means you are steps away from Degla Square. You can start your morning with a coffee at a local roastery, walk to the gym, pick up groceries from Gourmet or Seoudi Market, and meet friends for dinner—all without ever starting your car. For those who dislike Cairo traffic, this location is a game-changer.
The Expat Community Hub
Degla is home to the Cairo American College (CAC), making it the center of the American expat community. This creates a safe, English-speaking environment where foreigners feel immediately at home. The streets are lined with trees, joggers, and dog walkers, fostering a real sense of neighborhood community.
Nature and Wellness
Just a short drive away lies the Wadi Degla Protectorate, a stunning natural canyon perfect for hiking, running, or biking on weekends. Living in Degla encourages an active, outdoor lifestyle that is hard to maintain in more concrete-heavy districts.
Suitability: Who Should Rent This?
At 25,000 EGP ($500 USD), this property opens doors for a specific demographic that demands quality on a budget:
- Teachers and Educators: With salaries often paid in foreign currency but budgets to maintain, this unit is perfect for teachers at CAC or the French Lycée. It’s close to work and affordable.
- Digital Nomads & Solopreneurs: If you earn in USD, renting this place for $500 leaves you with a massive disposable income to enjoy travel and leisure in Egypt.
- Young Couples: For newlyweds or partners just moving in together, this 2-bedroom setup provides the perfect “starter home” in a prestigious area.
- Commuters: Its proximity to the Autostrad and Ring Road makes getting to New Cairo or downtown relatively easy while still living in the “Green Zone.”
