The Chinese community in Egypt
Chinese residents in Egypt include company staff, engineers, traders, students, teachers and families. Most live near their work: offices in Cairo, factories in the industrial cities, and the TEDA zone at Ain Sokhna. This page gives an overview of where the community lives, the places people use every day, and how Egyptians and Chinese can connect through Wang Fu Egypt.
Where the community lives
- Cairo: Nasr City, Heliopolis, Maadi, New Cairo and the New Capital, near offices and projects.
- 6th of October and Sheikh Zayed, near factories and trading companies.
- 10th of Ramadan, the main manufacturing city east of Cairo.
- Ain Sokhna and Suez, around the TEDA zone and ports.
- Alexandria and Borg El Arab, for manufacturing and port business.
Everyday places
Chinese restaurants, hotpot, Chinese supermarkets, hotels used by delegations and the Chinese embassy all appear on the Wang Fu Egypt Map with addresses in Chinese, Arabic and English, so you can show a driver where to go.
Connecting with the community
The Wang Fu Egypt community section has Q&A, group chats and short videos. Residents ask about paperwork, housing, schools and shopping; Egyptians looking for jobs or partners with Chinese companies can meet people there too. Please follow the community rules and report inappropriate posts.
