Pick Casablanca for Morocco-style daily life at familiar prices; pick Cairo if its visa rules, expat scene or climate suit you better — the rent gap won’t decide your happiness. Remote workers should weigh internet reliability and time zones alongside rent gaps of tens or hundreds of dollars a month. Always confirm 3 live listings: medians hide street-level variance of 30% or more.
