8th closest of 8 areas to the gate
Ain Shams district
The cheapest beds on this list, but seven stops on Line 1 every day.
33 min metro to the gate
Metro from Ain Shams to Manshiyat El-Sadr. Minutes are door to gate: the walk to the station, the wait, the ride and the walk in. A ticket is EGP 10; a one-zone student pass is EGP 150 for three months (180 trips), about EGP 50 a month.
The student pass needs a form stamped by your faculty, so for the first few weeks you’ll probably pay the full ticket.
Do the trip yourself once at 8 AM before you sign.

Rent

Each range holds the middle half of listings: the cheapest quarter and the dearest quarter are left out. Women’s housing usually costs a little more, often because of a supervisor and a return time.
