3rd closest of 12 areas to the gate
Boulaq El Dakrour
Just over the railway. Busy and local, with prices you can manage.
17 min metro to the gate
One stop on Line 3. 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.
