Apartments for rent in Egypt

Rental prices in Alexandria ranges from 1000 EGP to 10,000 EGP per month on average and the huge difference in rent is due to location and size of the apartment. 

On the other hand, rental prices in the capital are more expensive than Alexandria, especially in the newer upscale areas including New Cairo, Zamalek, Mohandeseen and Maadi. 

Upper-class tenants – students or full time office employees - prefer to find an apartment for rent in Heliopolis, Zamalek and Mohandeseen where housing is more luxurious yet practical. These areas are characterised by their marvellous traditional buildings, spacious flats, calmness and convenient location. After the establishment of many reputable universities and schools in the newer areas of Egypt, the demand for the rentals there has increased as has rental amounts, despite some locations being somewhat remote. One can find an apartment for rent in New Cairo for approximately 4000 EGP, which is quite expensive in comparison to the average rental prices in Egypt. But with great locations come higher rents and this is to be expected.

On the other hand, there are other areas in Cairo with lower rental prices like Al Haram and Nasr City. You can rent an apartment in Nasr City for about 1000 EGP, and renting an apartment in Al-haram will cost you 700 EGP or thereabouts. 

As can be seen, renting in Egypt has changed significantly over the years and with newer developments coming up across the country and with landlords keen to draw in long term tenants, there’s clearly something for everyone on every budget!
