The calculator's intro now says plainly it applies to Cairo Governorate — nothing about the rent bands changed.

The three outlets carrying the August increase no longer disagree with each other, so this now shows those rates instead of April's — about 12% higher — with the source stated plainly on the page.

No official cut schedule exists for Cairo's water, so this lets residents report district by district whether the water is running, and shows whether it's just one building or the wider area. Sign in to report.

Enter your existing legal rent and the band your area was placed in, and see the new rent Law 164/2025 sets for it, plus the published annual increases ahead. It can't look up which band your street is in — the governorate's own maps aren't published as text — so you pick it yourself.

The police, ambulance and fire numbers now appear right on the town page, not just inside the tool.

Cairo's utilities are separate corporate bodies with their own hotlines, not one city hall. Emergency services, the governorate's 24-hour operations room, the water regulator's drinking-water and wastewater lines, and the electricity fault hotline — grouped, with tappable numbers.

Hour-by-hour windows for outdoor time over the next three days, on the National Weather Service's heat-index scale — Cairo's defining hazard, not the 33mm of rain it gets a year.

Egypt raised household electricity prices from the July consumption month — about 12% on every band except the first, which is frozen. The calculator here is still showing the April figures, and now says so on the page instead of quietly serving them. The reason it has not been updated is worth stating plainly. EgyptERA has not republished its table: the link to the current tariff from the regulator's own home page returns a 404, and no replacement page has appeared. The newspapers carrying the new rates do not agree with each other — one prints 1.00 EGP for the 101–200 band, another 1.06, a third 1.064, and that last one is simply 12% applied to the old rate rather than a published figure. On a page that tells you what your bill will be, that difference is real money. So: read the total as roughly a tenth low, and the band boundaries and the way crossing one reprices your whole month as unchanged. The moment the regulator publishes, this page gets the real numbers.

Cairo's page now opens with a drawing looking across the Nile from the wooded tip of Zamalek island, the city's rooftops spreading east to the Mokattam escarpment.

The band is chosen on your reading divided by the number of homes on the meter, so on a shared block meter one heavy user can push every flat up a band. Past 30 cubic metres per home, one more cubic metre adds about EGP 98. Figures are read from the Holding Company's own bill calculator.

Above 650 kWh a month, the whole month is repriced — so one extra unit at that line costs EGP 369.60, not the price of one unit. The page works out your bill from EgyptERA's published tariff, names the band you are in, and shows how far you are from the next one.

Prayer times are worked out from the sun over the city using Egypt's own official method — the Egyptian General Authority of Survey angles — and the page keeps working once loaded, so it is there underground. The fare calculator asks where you get on and where you get off, counts the stations across all three lines, and shows the route it counted so you can check it. Where a trip lands exactly on the edge between two fare bands, it shows both prices and explains why, because the operator publishes the bands but not whether the station you board at is counted. We also corrected the fares we had on file: they are EGP 10, 12, 15 and 20 since 27 March 2026.
