Before you go
Said it’s free today. The advertiser confirms every 7 days that the place is still free. If that lapses, it says so here.
Ask on the phone before the trip
- Is the place still free? When can I see it?
- Is the rent EGP 2,700, as in the listing? What does it include?
- Is the deposit EGP 2,700, and the commission EGP 2,700, paid once?
- Who will meet me: the owner? Will I see the contract that day?
- Could you send me a video of the room on WhatsApp today?
If anyone asks for money to “hold” the viewing, don’t go and don’t pay. Report it

How reports workThe area
You get the exact address from the advertiser. The map shows the area only.
Calmer side streets around the Sporting Club and Tiba St. With the tram suspended, campus is a daily microbus ride.
Good
- Side streets are quiet at night
- Close to the sea, and Sidi Gaber station isn't far
Watch out
- Furnished flats on Tiba St are expensive
- A daily microbus fare instead of the cheap tram ticket
