Rehab City (Arabic: مدينة الرحاب‎) is a city located in New Cairo, in Cairo, the capital Egypt.

El Rehab is a fully fledged community, which creates a comprehensive integrated residential scheme within the New Cairo plan. It covers an area of 10 million m² to accommodate 200,000 residents. There are 10 phases, each covering an area of 220 feddans. Each phase is a complete district offering two kinds of housing arrangements: villas and apartments. All facilities are interconnected throughout the ten different phases to include educational, medical, commercial, sports club, recreational and maintenance facilities.

At the North East side of New Cairo, at the intersection of the Eastern Ring Road with the Cairo/Suez Road, lies Al Rehab; ten minutes from Heliopolis and Nasr City, at the extension of Thawra street and Zakker Hussein street, from Nasr City, and 30 minutes from downtown Cairo.
New Cairo includes the First, Third and Fifth settlements, the American University in Cairo's new campus, the German University in Cairo, the British University in Egypt and French Schools. Since it is not an industrial area, its elevated plane (which rises 60 meters over the Muqatam Heights) is characterized by its unpolluted air and all-year round moderate climate. To preserve that, New Cairo is surrounded by a wide green belt of lush greenery.

The past year alone has seen tremendous growth and development in Rehab. There are two shopping malls which house many stores, including Metro supermarket. The food court includes; KFC, Pizza hut, La Reve, Costa Coffee, Cinnabon, Lebanese food and traditional Egyptian food.

Private buses for the residents of Al-Rehab go to Heliopolis and Nasr City and back every half hour.
