My cat and I live in Seoul now but we did enjoy our flat in Cairo.

42

u/Meow_Kitteh Jul 22 '24

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing 

21

u/theamydoll Jul 22 '24

I bet your view in Seoul is epic too.

6

u/One_Tie900 Jul 22 '24

How expensive is it to live so close?

27

u/TheTangryOrca Jul 22 '24

Cat tax 👀?

26

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 22 '24

Always paying the cat tax!

10

u/bwaredapenguin Jul 22 '24

It's in the first picture.

7

u/TheTangryOrca Jul 22 '24

I've only just spotted the cat in the second picture too. My bad 😅

3

u/Beachdaddybravo Jul 23 '24

From Cairo to Seoul? What do you do for a living that has you living in two completely different places? I’d love to visit both some day.

3

u/bullettenboss Jul 23 '24

Where exactly was this? Is it a hotel?

3

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 23 '24

My home I lived in for 3 years. Egyptian owner now lives there with his wife.

2

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 23 '24

Hotels don't typically let a cats crap in boxes in their rooms 😅🤣

30

u/flyraccoon Jul 22 '24

The view from the ground couch is 🔥

9

u/khkokopelli Jul 22 '24

“Ground couch” has me! I’ll never use one because I’ll never get back up.

u/grruser Jul 22 '24

Indeed. I guess OP meant Bedouin themed.

62

u/mongoosefist Jul 22 '24

Rainbow LED's, just like the Bedouins used to use

41

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 22 '24

You clearly don't know modern bedouins for such a sarcastic comment my friend 😅

32

u/tourmalineforest Jul 22 '24

Historically, yes - now, a lot of Bedouins have stopped living nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyles

47

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 22 '24

Themed but bedouins today live in houses like everyone else.

6

u/vankorgan Jul 22 '24

Thanks for that. I too thought all Bedouin people were still nomadic. A quick Google shows me that's not true.

5

u/Tiny-Werewolf1962 Jul 22 '24

it's a lot easier to move 20 pillows than full sized couches. So that tracks.

3

u/ShawarmaOrigins Jul 22 '24

Bedouin inspired? The seating specifically.

1

u/simiomalo Jul 22 '24

My first thought.

16

u/consumerismaesthetic Jul 22 '24

This looks like that one scene from moon knight when Isaac wakes up in Egypt

28

u/MoldyWorp Jul 22 '24

First photo is absolutely incredible. Talk about a room with a view. The detail you can see when you zoom in - brilliant!

7

u/miyahedi21 Jul 22 '24

There's something very majestic about Ancient Egyptian architecture and art.

8

u/Nikeli Jul 22 '24

You have a book with a picture of your balcony view?

3

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 22 '24

I do 😅

2

u/Nikeli Jul 22 '24

Haha, that’s crazy. I hope your new place is also as cozy with a view worthy for a printed book (:

22

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 22 '24

This is original content

4

u/Farmafarm Jul 22 '24

Worth it? I was thinking of renting something similar as opposed to staying in Cairo and traveling for the day.

9

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 22 '24

You mean to live or travel? I lived here for 2.5 years and it isn't for the first time expat by any means.

2

u/Farmafarm Jul 22 '24

Oh no I thought it was one of those boutique Bedouin stays to view the pyramids.

I am thinking of going to Egypt and Lebanon for a couple weeks.

3

u/Nihilister_21 Jul 22 '24

That rugs remembered me my childhood.Thanks!

3

u/ynnahcornstar Jul 22 '24

sooooo beautiful ♥️ what a wonderful view ♥️

3

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '24

i was cursing myself under my breath for doomscrolling Reddit instead of working- then this comes along. Beautiful and inspiring. It's going on my desktop.

3

u/khkokopelli Jul 22 '24

This is EPIC! That view! The kitty! The colors. I love this so much!!

3

u/khkokopelli Jul 22 '24

How much does one have to pay for that kind of view?

3

u/glowwwi Jul 22 '24

Oh my God… this is magical! The Pyramids of Giza are one of my favorite places in the world, this in the images is my dream.

6

u/Sanfraddle Jul 22 '24

I remember when you posted this a few months ago. Hope all is well

2

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 22 '24

I've never posted in this sub reddit before. Only found it yesterday.

I think you saw it on another sub.

I thought it looked familiar too.

2

u/Significant-Trash632 Jul 27 '24

So that's where I saw this.

2

u/frogcharming Jul 22 '24

what a magnificent view....my view is a brick wall lol

2

u/SaintSiren Jul 22 '24

Maybe I would live longer, be stronger, be more flexible, have fewer aches and pains if I had to get down and up again from the floor for every little thing. Yikes. But, love the view!

2

u/Leebites Jul 22 '24

Gorgeous. Wish it was safe to solo travel. 😭

2

u/loveshercoffee Jul 22 '24

That is one of the most incredible views I have ever seen. I can't imagine having that to look at every single day. And the room looks so cozy! I'd like to hang out there.

2

u/CrystalQuetzal Jul 23 '24

Wow this is amazing. View of the pyramids too??? I can’t imagine how hard it is to get a place like that. Or expensive.

1

u/thedennissystem92 Jul 22 '24

Oh my gosh, how amazing!!! A dream!!

1

u/rearwindowstories Jul 22 '24

This is so peaceful.

1

u/Fit_Tumbleweed_5904 Jul 22 '24

That is lovely, cozy and welcoming. Enjoy!

u/PGB3711 Jul 22 '24

Wow! Beautiful!

u/ilikebooksawholelot Jul 22 '24

🥰🥰🥰 perfect

1

u/AL_Starr Jul 22 '24

That’s incredible

2

u/annoyingkraken Jul 22 '24

After playing Pharaoh, I am now very suspicious of Bedouins...

Jk! Hahaha gorgeous view OP! Cute cat too!

1

u/Melusini Jul 22 '24

Wowwww this is so magical! That first photo is especially gorgeous

1

u/Alca1D89 Jul 22 '24

Insane Views

1

u/FillBrilliant6043 Jul 22 '24

Gorgeous! This looks like a scene from Moon Knight (totally random and nerdy reference, I know)

1

u/Get_wreckd_shill Jul 22 '24

How much rent?

1

u/fluffyflugel Jul 22 '24

Wow that place is dreamy and complete with cat!

1

u/MrMongoloidManbun Jul 22 '24

How far is that from Pizza Hut?

1

u/applesfirst Jul 22 '24

Everyone talking about the view, but those rugs and cushions are where its at.

1

u/shaded-user Jul 22 '24

Spectacular

1

u/uprightsalmon Jul 22 '24

What a cool view

1

u/gratisargott Jul 22 '24

Are you reading a book containing a picture of the view from your apartment?

1

u/Emergency-Pack-5497 Jul 22 '24

Nice, you're almost as close as the pizza hut

1

u/HeinousAnus69420 Jul 22 '24

So we need to build pyramids along the interstate in the Great Plains in the US it looks like. Make that drive pretty

1

u/crankygerbil Jul 22 '24

I've flown over this site but never saw it on the ground. If I lived there I don't think I would ever leave that room!

1

u/Anenhotep Jul 23 '24

The only word is …Awesome!

1

u/deathakissaway Jul 23 '24

Awesome. That's a room with a view. Also, cats chilling.

1

u/HistoryHasItsCharms Jul 23 '24

Your textiles are gorgeous! I love the rugs especially, we had a couple like them when I was little and I remember that they held up to almost anything.

1

u/PlantMystic Jul 24 '24

This is so lovely.

1

u/SalamanderTasty1807 Jul 27 '24

The Pyramid views are out of this world! Omg ❤️

u/alpaca_punchx Jul 22 '24

I can't find it on this sub, but it looks like the same OP posted in Male Living Space a few months ago.

https://www.reddit.com/r/malelivingspace/s/7Sa2LKDdkt

2

u/Wolfdreama Dog at feet Jul 22 '24

OP hit the front page in a big way with these pictures on a different sub a few months ago.

u/NomadicLaguna Jul 22 '24

🤣 You mean, my cat Yoshi and my flat isn't mine? Cooooool.
