I recommend to make friends with some local people you can fully trust and ask them to find a suitable apartment for you to rent. They should first give the impression to the landlord / landlady that they would like to rent the place for themselves. Because in this case the rent will be much cheaper than for a foreigner. As soon as it is clear how much rent the owner would like to have you can come together with your local friends for a next visit and reveal that the apartment is for you. Now the owner would have problems to explain why they would rent out the place to you for a much higher amount... ;-)

I live in Zamalek since 5 years and I am already in my fourth apartment here. If you would like to ask me any further questions regarding that, please send me a private message here.

Good luck with your plans to move to Cairo. It is an interesting and exciting place, but also very challenging in many respects.

Best,

Friedrich
