Hello Marie, do you know where you husband will work at ? Try to leave not too far from his office as traffic can be really bad here. How old are your kids ? Which school do they visit in Dubai? The british school is extremely expensive here. My boys are going to the Heritage International school (canadian system).
Most expats are living in Maadi (south) and Zamalek (center). As for us, we are living in the North West part of city, between the Pyramids and 6th of october and away from the pollution. There are many nice coumpounds and some expats as well. Carrefour and another Hypermarket are 5 min drive. Good luck. I do not regret the change from Dubai to Cairo. Here, you ll get real life ! It will take some time to enjoy it...
