Renting and buying a home in Egypt
The articles in this rubric help you find a home in Cairo and Hurghada and live in it without trouble: which areas to choose, how to rent a flat without falling for scams, what to check in the contract, what electricity, water, gas and internet cost, how to move, how to find a repairman or a housekeeper, and what a foreigner should know before buying property.
We write from the experience of Russian-speaking tenants and check the rules against Egyptian law. Prices are approximate and dated, because rents and services rise with inflation.
Look for flats and rooms from owners and flatmates in flats for rent, and for repairmen and movers in services.
