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, and the commission EGP 1,550, 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

A long street with the Commerce faculty on it, running from the centre up to Qahafa. Busy, lots of shops, and easy rides to the bus station.
Good

- Mid-range rents, cheaper than El Estad and El Nady St
Watch out
