Before you go

Said it’s free 5 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

  1. Is the place still free? When can I see it?
  2. Is the rent EGP 1,300, as in the listing? What does it include?
  3. Is the deposit EGP 1,300? When does it come back?
  4. Who will meet me: the owner? Will I see the contract that day?
  5. 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

The area

© OpenStreetMap

You get the exact address from the advertiser. The map shows the area only.

On Mansoura's southern edge, calmer than the centre. The Sandoub–University line runs to the gate.

Good

  • Direct microbus and AC bus lines to the university
  • Quieter streets than around campus

Watch out

  • A ride every single day
  • The line is sometimes split into two fares
  • Few places aimed at students

  1. Was the place actually free?

  2. Was the price the one in the listing?

  3. Did it match the photos and description?

  4. Did anyone ask for money before the viewing?

Only someone who contacted the advertiser through Istaqer can report, once per listing.
