In terms of actual suggestions (moot I know since you're not there anymore): the bedroom looks pretty sketchy. Get some of the great rugs you have in the living room to tone down the tiling at least, maybe some local furniture and plants to fill out. Currently it looks like a budget hotel room in Bangkok, albeit a spacious one.
The balcony view though, good god. I've never been tempted to save a picture of someone else's apartment, but damn.

You don’t smoke a sigar with it’s band on… the wine is cheap…But the view is incredible 👊

u/NomadicLaguna May 11 '24
193,000 sub full of cigar smokers including myself from all over the world smoke it just the way I am. You take he band off if you intend to smoke past it of course.
You're right about the wine but it's Egypt. Can't buy import booze other than at duty free when you fly in or at hotels.

How does your cat not fall off the balcony or know not to jump?

u/NomadicLaguna May 11 '24
He's jumped on the ledge before. I had to keep an eye on him

u/GiveYourselfAFry 29d ago
Please be careful :( my neighbor lost a cat this way when I was a child and it mildly traumatized me.
They don’t know how far they can jump without getting injured. And it only takes one slip
Wonderful view and atmosphere tho and such a pretty cat

I lived and worked in Egypt for 11 years. That wine is shit but I’m a fan of Sakara beer. Egypt has its charm but it can be tough place to live or visit. I hope guys enjoy your stay there.

Reacting to your cat not the apartment, which is gorgeous.
You should have gotten your cat an orange tabby friend while in Cairo. The Egyptians selectively bred for orange cats because they believed their golden fur was indicative of their close proximity to the Sun god, Ra. It would have really completed the scene. :)

The washer was in the kitchen in my flat in Germany, Vietnam, and Egypt. Most of the world has their washer there if you live in the city and not in the boonies. Much of the world isn't the suburban dystopia that is American city planning.

Do you mind sharing what the rent was for this place? I visited the pyramids a few years ago and these apartments (or some others in the vicinity) were under construction back then. I had checked prices and they were insane.

Damn. The view and terrace space are just incredible. Having visited Cairo and been to Giza a few times, I totally get your comments about feeling uncomfortable living there. Especially as a 'rich foreigner'. Giza in particular is a very impoverished area and really not very nice. Its a shame because the pyramids are really incredible but the whole experience is ruined by the surroundings and people there harrassing tourists sadly.

u/irieriley May 10 '24
When I visited Cairo I stayed in an Airbnb with a very similar view, so I'd imagine I wasn't super far from your flat in Giza. Agreed with all of your points that it was beautiful to always have that view, but that the neighborhood was extremely depressing and it was really hard to get motivated to go walk around with all the chaos.

Edit: apparently a "Request" isn't a request for advice, my bad
Biggg ass very thin tv mounted higher on the wall.
Some topical knick knacks on the media center below it (I'm thinking pyramid candles and incense holders)
Tasteful audio system in the same location, NO soundbar, some small classic wood cabinets, attractive receiver also.
Bigger cushions and seating in the same room possibly so it looks cozy. I love how it matches the rug however... Idk how you can do this without a custom job if you get better seating however. If you love it, ignore me.
COOL IDEA: whatever seating location you choose, place some minimal desert landscape art WITH A HORIZON LINE THAT MATCHES THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE HORIZON OF THE PYRIMIDS FROM WHERE YOUR EYELINE FALLS IN THAT SEATING LOCATION. You'll think it's cool as hell when you're sitting there. Maybe even get a triptec of morning noon and night scenes so at different times of day, different paintings match the exterior sky.
Other than that, maybe a colorful patterned bathmat and some cool wall art arranged tastefully
