Maadi is perfect for walks with kids and pets as well. No worries about that.

About renting, cannot lie to you and say I know it all. I have to go back and ask my friends there.

You're also lucky because there is a very good training center (Gym) by the name of "Nevien Alloba", expats love to go there for workouts, and it is in Maadi.

Always ask me as many questions as you like. If I don't know the answer, I'll consult someone and get back to you.

I'll do my best to put you in contact with someone who currently lives in Maadi. After you ok that of course.
