Housing in Egypt
Public universities run student residences (university cities), and some have wings for international students, but places are allocated each year under each university's own rules and are not guaranteed. Many private universities offer on-campus or partner housing, and many students rent shared flats instead. Agree the contract, deposit and utilities in writing and see the property before paying.
Check the full cost
Confirm deposits, utilities, contract length, furnishings, transport and cancellation terms, not only the advertised monthly amount.
Protect yourself
Verify the landlord or provider, use a written contract and avoid untraceable payments or offers that cannot be inspected.
