traffic El Rehab- Nasr City

Post new topic

AlexandraG

I am moving to Cairo in September and looking for a flat. The office is in Nasr City, so I was wondering about driving time from El Rehab or Katameya to Nasr city - how long does it take, are there traffic jams, what are the most busy hours. Thanks in advance

its takes around 20 minutes driving using the new ring road.

AlexandraG

what about traffic jams?

Shouki

Hey AlexandraG wish u luck here in egypt, it all depends on the situation in roads sometimes it good and sometimes not but it always take 20 min driving if u gonna take rehab's buses to nasr city, and their is a transportation to nasr city whole day long. :D

don moe

Taking it from the Ring Road will be no traffic jam.

AlexandraG

Thanks!
Do you use navigators in Cairo - is there a good digital map of the city?

don moe

actually it would help in big street's & area's but not in small details from my point of view....

You can have google maps or a simular program on your phone or tablet. I have seen navigators, but have no idea about price, quality.

Use your Built-in GPS receiver in your mobile phone, just make sure you downloaded Cairo maps using a wifi spot, cuz loading maps by 3G is kinda Expensive if you are not subscribed in a monthly/unlimited plan =)

some places in Nasr City have a very high traffic
you may spend weeks in the car, just kidding :)
but completely waste of time
like Abbas Al aqqad St. & Ahmed Fakhry St.(City Stars)

about the GPS i agree with don moe :)
and also Cenlin
the technology here has a high price and cost alot of money
international calls is crazy (still remember calling my family  in Egypt while i'm Malaysia and i was paying 21 L.E/min!), iphone, mobile internet services

even the DSL and the local cellphones calls is expansive compare to the US and Europe

I have found "Sygic Gps Navigation" useful having downloaded onto my phone. Be careful using it as it eats the battery power very quickly.
