Egypt has long been a landing point for expats from Europe, the Gulf, Africa, and beyond — whether for work, retirement, diplomacy, or lifestyle. With a relatively low cost of living, a strong real estate market, and growing international communities, Egypt continues to attract a wide range of foreign residents. While expats live across the country, some cities and neighborhoods stand out due to convenience, quality of life, proximity to embassies, international schools, and community hubs. The most popular areas tend to offer a blend of modern housing, walkability, access to services, and cultural diversity. Cairo: The Heart of Egypt’s Expat Life Cairo remains the most populated city in Egypt — and the central hub for many foreign professionals, diplomats, teachers, and NGO workers. Within the capital, expats tend to gravitate toward well-planned suburbs and districts with green space, less congestion, and easy access to work zones. Popular Cairo neighborhoods among expats: • Maadi: Known for its calm streets, leafy villas, and walkability. Maadi is home to many embassies and international schools. • Zamalek: Located on an island in the Nile, Zamalek blends cultural life with upscale apartments, art galleries, and diplomatic residences. • New Cairo (5th Settlement): A modern suburban zone filled with compounds, international universities, and gated communities. • Heliopolis: Favored by older European residents and business travelers due to its proximity to Cairo International Airport. Most expats in Cairo value access to international services, a mix of Arabic and English-speaking residents, and the availability of Western-style grocery stores, schools, and medical care. Red Sea Cities: Resort Living for Retirees and Remote Workers The Red Sea Coast, particularly Hurghada, El Gouna, and Sahl Hasheesh, has seen a steady rise in foreign residents, especially retirees and remote workers looking for sun, sea, and simplicity. Why expats are choosing Red Sea towns: • Affordable beachfront apartments and villas • International schools and hospitals • Year-round warm weather • Diving, sailing, and wellness-focused communities • A relaxed pace of life compared to the capital El Gouna, in particular, is known as a self-contained town built with foreigners in mind — offering marinas, beach clubs, co-working hubs, and gated living. Russian, German, British, and Ukrainian expats make up a significant portion of the population across the Red Sea region. Alexandria: A Historic City with a Growing Foreign Base While not as popular as Cairo or the Red Sea for newcomers, Alexandria still maintains a steady population of expats, particularly among academics, French-speaking North Africans, and long-time European residents. The city’s Mediterranean location, European architecture, and university presence make it a culturally rich option. Most expats live in districts like Gleem, Smouha, or Kafr Abdo, where many of the city’s international schools and private clinics are based. North Coast (Sahel): Seasonal Appeal for GCC Nationals and Summer Expats The North Coast, or “Sahel,” is primarily known for its seasonal lifestyle — attracting short-term visitors from the Gulf and elite Egyptians. However, a small but growing group of expats are beginning to purchase second homes or rental properties in compounds such as: • Marassi • Hacienda Bay • Fouka Bay These areas are not full-time expat hubs yet but are drawing interest from regional investors and semi-residents who split their time between Egypt and the Gulf or Europe. The right place to live in Egypt depends on your lifestyle goals, work requirements, and community preferences. Whether you’re looking for calm resort life in Hurghada, urban comfort in Cairo, or cultural depth in Alexandria, there are expat-friendly areas across the country that offer stability and value.
