Before you go
Said it’s free 7 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 4,550, as in the listing? What does it include?
- Is the deposit EGP 4,550? 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
