I will most likely live alone, but I can rent a two bedroom apartment.
Walking distance to Metro mart, or 26th of July Street, would be great.
If you are a simsar, I will only consider your services if you take commission from the apartment owner.

Mokoo you are great and in fact I was going to write to this guy advising him not to take seriuosly what Hany Rafik offered. Hopefully there are more honest, generous and helpful Egyptians than cheeky people...and we, people who know Egypt and Egyptians get easily angry with this kind of people... In Spain we face the same problem with foreigners and people who want to take advantage from them, by cheeting them... Thanks again for everything darling!!

Don't worry...of course $40 is out of the question for a taxi ride! I'm not a Cairo newbie...I lived here before for about 2 years but just moved back. I have no interest in the Egyptian real estate companies on the internet because they're horribly overpriced. Though I'm far from fluent in Arabic, I know enough to walk around the neighborhoods and talk to bowwabs to get in touch with available flats....but it didn't hurt to put a free message on here asking if anyone has an available flat.

hey guys you sure got me very very wrong, i didn't mean 40$ dollars for ataxi drive!!!!! i meant picking him from the airport to the all available flats he may see to rent and any other place he may want to go which means being with him all the day and not with a taxi. it's a 2004 model air conditioned car with a cheffeur. you just ask any company for renting cars about the prices of a 2004 model car. and please don't insult before understanding.

If you want to find a simsar, the best way would be to walk around Zamalek, the simsars usually hang around the cafesthen ask the servers at the cafe if there is a simsar there.. Also, hairdressers or other locals in the area may be able to direct you to a simsar..
