Overheads
After several requests from fellows students and people hopeful of studying in Cairo we have decided to write up a post discussing expenditure and costs of life in Egypt for a student. Each individual situation depends on their lifestyle and is unique therefore it may be difficult to provide a complete accurate figure of ones expected monthly expenditures. However we will attempt to provide a simple breakdown based on our own experiences, through which others can come up with an estimate of their own. There are several costs one must take into consideration when planning their trip to Cairo. We will attempt to breakdown each one individually and then provide a monthly total. We will provide the price in Egyptian pounds and then in sterling when calculating the totals. Calculations are based on the current exchange rate of 23.7egp per 1 sterling.
