The apartement rates, cost of food, etc.

Sorry, not sure if I understood properly - did you mean the apartment rates & cost of food inside the center or generally in Cairo?

[Abu Talhah]

I apologize.

From what I understand, there are none in the center, but the center will help you find housing if you request two months prior to it. Usually in the surrounding area.

Yeah, they can assist in finding you an apartment - it's pricey though (very high commission etc). That option is usually good however if you don't have time to look for a flat yourself or are unaware of how to go about it all. My friend was in an apartment for almost £400 p/m which is a lot higher than the average £200 p/m. I guess we need to take into consideration that rates go up in the summer.

Food is ok, maybe £30-40 a month for one person? wallaahu a'lam.
