4th closest of 6 areas to the gate

Hadayek Helwan

A big residential district between the metro and the Nile, two stops from campus. Calmer than central Helwan, with lots of furnished flats.

20 min metro to the gate

Metro from Hadayek Helwan, two stops. 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 Hadayek Helwan.

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.
