Coming from jordan and with the difference in currency I see Egypt very cheap. However I have witnessed an increase in prices in everything in the past few months. In a summary:
-average rent of an apartment between 6000-10'000 in a compound depending on the size, out of Compound is definitely less.
- doctor fees ( I have seen many recently) between 400-600.
-monthly grossary shopping 4000-6000.
-gym for 16 prenatal classes that I attend 1200.
- fuel: 160 for a Kia Soul car and 200 for a Renault kadjar.
- a cup of espresso 40.
- lunch for 2 outside 400-1000 depending on the place.
- one kilo of sugar is 26, 5 pieces of bread 5 pounds.
