5th closest of 8 areas to the gate

El-Zaitoun

Four stops up Line 1 from Manshiyat El-Sadr. Cheaper than around campus, though the morning metro is packed.

24 min metro to the gate

Metro from Hadayek El-Zaitoun 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

Typical rent
in El-Zaitoun.

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.
