Cairo Apartment Rent Prices 2026 | Furnished Cost Guide
Looking for the real cost of furnished apartments in Cairo?
This page shows actual rental price ranges across Cairo neighborhoods — plus a calculator to estimate your stay instantly.
Let me be straight with you — if you Google “furnished apartment prices in Cairo,” you’ll get numbers that are either outdated, too vague to be useful, or based on listings that don’t actually exist anymore.
Cairo’s rental market moves fast. Prices differ from one neighbourhood to the next, sometimes dramatically. What you’d pay in Maadi is not what you’d pay in Nasr City. A two-week stay is priced completely differently from a monthly lease. And if you’re coming from a hotel mindset, the difference between what you’d spend on a hotel room versus a furnished apartment here will genuinely surprise you.
I’ve seen people overpay because they didn’t know the going rate. I’ve also seen people dismiss Cairo as expensive when they were comparing hotel prices, not apartment prices.
Cairo Apartment Prices by Area (2026)
| Area | 1 Bedroom | 2 Bedroom | Luxury |
| Nasr City | 25,000 – 50,000 EGP | 30,000 – 65,000 EGP | Low–Mid |
| Maadi | 20,000 – 45,000 EGP | 30,000 – 70,000 EGP | Mid–High |
| New Cairo | 30,000 – 80,000 EGP | 50,000 – 120,000 EGP | High |
| Zamalek | 40,000 – 100,000 EGP | 60,000 – 150,000+ EGP | Premium |
That’s the gap this calculator is trying to fill.
It’s built on real units, real areas, and real price ranges — not averages copied from some international property website that hasn’t been updated since 2022. You pick your area, your apartment size, and how long you’re planning to stay. It shows you what it actually costs, in EGP or USD, and what the same stay would run you in a hotel.
Cairo is a brilliant city to live in when you’re set up properly. The neighbourhoods feel completely different from each other — Maadi has a quieter, greener feel, Nasr City is central and fast-moving, and New Cairo is modern and spread out. The right area depends on what you’re here for.

How Booking a Furnished Apartment With Us Works
It’s simpler than you think.
Reach out on WhatsApp or fill in the form on our website. Tell us what you need — which area, how long you’re staying, how many people, and roughly what your budget is. If you’ve already used the calculator above, you have a number to start with.
We’ll come back to you with apartments that are actually ready to move into. Real photos, real availability. Not listings that look great online and turn out to be unavailable when you ask.
You pick what works for you. If you’re already in Cairo, we’ll arrange a viewing. If you’re still abroad, we’ll do a video walkthrough, so you arrive knowing exactly what to expect — no guessing, no disappointment at the door.
Once you’re happy, we sort the check-in. Our team makes sure you’re properly settled, not just handed a key and left to figure it out.
And after you move in, we will stay available. You’ll have a direct contact for your whole stay. Something needs fixing, you have a question about the area, you need a recommendation — just message us.
What’s Included in a Furnished Apartment in Cairo
Honestly? Everything.
Walk in, and it’s already there — furniture, beds, kitchen appliances, washing machine, WiFi, air conditioning. You’re not going to a store on your first day or sleeping on a bare mattress waiting for delivery. Most guests walk in, and the first word out of their mouth is “magnificent.” That’s what we aim for every time.
The kitchen is set up so you can cook a proper meal the same night you arrive. The bedroom is ready. The WiFi is working. The water is hot.
For short stays, water and electricity are included in the price. For monthly stays, it depends on the unit — but we always tell you upfront, before you commit to anything. No surprises on the bill at the end of the month.
If you need something specific — an extra desk, a crib for a baby, something for work — just tell us before you arrive. We’ll do what we can to sort it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a furnished apartment cost in Cairo?
Furnished apartments in Cairo typically range from 10,000 to 80,000+ EGP per month, depending on the area, size, and level of furnishing. Premium areas like Zamalek and New Cairo are more expensive, while Nasr City and Maqattam offer more affordable options.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For short stays, a few days’ notice is usually fine. For monthly stays during busy periods — September to November, when many expats and students arrive — earlier is better. Two to three weeks ahead gives you the best selection.
Can I extend my stay once I’m already there?
Usually, yes, as long as the unit is available. We always try to give guests priority if they want to stay longer. Just let us know as early as possible so we can confirm with the owner.
Do you serve non-Arabic speakers?
Yes. Our team communicates in English and Arabic. Our founder spent time as an international student in Cairo — he understands exactly what it’s like to navigate a new city without the language. You won’t be left to figure things out alone.
What areas do you cover?
Currently Maadi, Nasr City, New Cairo, and Mokattam. Each area has a different feel and suits different types of guests. If you’re not sure which area fits your situation, tell us what you’re here for, and we’ll recommend honestly.
What if there’s a problem with the apartment during my stay?
Contact us directly. We have property coordinators and a housekeeping team. Most issues get resolved the same day. We don’t ask you to log a ticket or wait for a callback — you reach a real person.
Is there a minimum stay?
For short stays, the minimum is typically three nights, though some units have a two or three-night minimum. For monthly stays, one month is standard. We’ll always confirm this before you commit to anything.
