Before you go
Said it’s free 3 days ago. 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 1,550, as in the listing? What does it include?
- Is the deposit EGP 1,550? When does it come back?
- 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.
A big residential district between the metro and the Nile, two stops from campus. Calmer than central Helwan, with lots of furnished flats.
Good
- Plenty of furnished flats, and some owners let to students
- Only two metro stops to campus
Watch out
- Flats on the Corniche cost far more
- From the far end, it's a long walk to the station
