✈️ Before you fly to Egypt

The checks that separate a safe admission from a scam. Do them yourself — not through the agent.

Before paying anyone

  • College is in the World Directory of Medical Schools (every college page here shows its WDOMS ID).
  • Offer letter confirmed by email from the university's own domain.
  • Fee structure in writing; tuition paid only to the university's bank account, receipt on university letterhead.
  • Agent/consultancy name checked on Check before you pay.
  • Originals stay with you — copies only.

Documents & money

  • Passport valid 18+ months; visa; 6–8 passport photos; attested school-leaving certificates; your entrance-exam result if your home regulator requires one (NEET, MDCAT, etc.); medical certificate; police clearance if required.
  • Confirmation that this university is accepted by your own country's medical regulator — the list differs for India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, Malaysia and others.
  • Money on a forex card plus a little cash — never large cash handed to anyone "for the university".
  • Travel + health insurance that covers Egypt; a copy of every document in your email.

Landing safely

  • Know who is meeting you and confirm it with the university or a verified student — not only the agent.
  • See the hostel before paying a deposit; ask a current student whether it's the real one.
  • Register with your country's embassy or consulate after arrival (many run a student portal); save its emergency number — stranded students in the cases we've published got out through their embassy.
  • Local SIM, bank account, and the campus map in your first week — a senior can do this with you in an afternoon.

🛡️ Safety & expenses in Egypt

We don't publish a made-up "safety score" — official sources and real verification beat a number nobody can audit. Here's what to actually check.

🚨 Emergency numbers

122

Commonly used general emergency number. Save it in your phone on arrival, and confirm it with your university — some regions use a different local number.

Also save your home country's nearest embassy or consulate contact number before you fly, and register with them if your country offers it (e.g. India's MADAD portal, the UK's FCDO registration).

🧭 Before you go

  • Check your home government's official travel advisory for Egypt — search it here rather than trust a consultancy's summary of it.
  • Keep scanned copies of your passport, visa, and admission letter in cloud storage, separate from the originals.
  • Get travel/health insurance that explicitly covers the country and duration of your course.
  • Learn the area around your campus and hostel in daylight before relying on it at night.
  • Avoid unlicensed taxis or "guides" who approach you at the airport — arrange pickup through the university where possible.

💰 Verify these expenses yourself

We don't publish estimated costs here — they date quickly and vary by city and lifestyle. Before you commit money, get these in writing directly from the university, not only from an agent:

  • Full multi-year tuition, and whether it can increase year to year
  • Hostel/accommodation fees and what's included (food, utilities, wifi)
  • One-time costs: visa, admission/registration fees, health checks
  • Approximate flight cost for your route and how often you'd realistically travel home
  • Health insurance premium required for your visa or enrollment

📝 Longest student reviews from Egypt

Top 10 detailed reviews shared by students, along with the universities they belong to.

Modern University for Technology and Information (MTI) Faculty of Medicine

Mohamed Shehab
The university is excellent in terms of its architecture, curriculum, and faculty, which is in no way inferior to any other university, if not superior in many aspects. A special salute to the university administration, from the university president, through the distinguished faculty, and down to the smallest worker. My regards.

Menoufia National University Faculty of Medicine and Surgery

J.A Weeb
It's a tough and tiring place, but that's why it produces successful doctors. But who said dreams are easy? Financially speaking, it's clean, beautiful, and a true educational institution. It has Abu Ammar's cafeteria and is surrounded by university hospitals, the emergency room, the Liver Institute, and the Oncology Institute.

Badr University in Cairo School of Medicine

Mohamed Nassef
A private university. The buildings are new and the equipment is good. The educational process is said to be excellent, the buildings Supports green environment and staff are friendly but the university is located in Badr City, which needs a break from work in order to raise a standard of living befitting university students.

Alexandria National University Faculty of Medicine

RiDER 47
The place has a good calm vibe. The place is clean and tidy. There is only one canteen available inside the campus. The hospital for outpatient is also present inside and has surgery department as well. This campus has mainly 3rd yr students while the 1st and 2nd yr students have classes in different locations

Newgiza University School of Medicine

Amro Amin
It is a high-level university, but its medical and pharmacy colleges are not yet complete. The engineering college building has been finished and studies have begun there. In addition, the medical college provides free checkups in all departments (dentistry and internal medicine) throughout the week.

King Salman International University Faculty of Medicine

???? ????
Welcome, peace be upon you and God’s mercy and blessings. May God’s prayers and peace be upon him. The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Whoever’s last words are ‘There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God’, will enter Paradise.”

Horus University Faculty of Medicine

Mennah Ayman
Aside from the professionalism and quality of the college and its teaching staff, I hope the security guards at some of the gates are stopped. Their harassment, using coded language, and the amount of staring is unacceptable! There's no explanation of where I can file a complaint against them.

Nahda University in Beni Suef Faculty of Medicine

HESHAM .m
Don't ever think about applying for this university they will make nothing but make you in debt and when you want to withdraw the paper they won't let you take the paper easily and the management won't even assist you but they will just push you away worst experience in my life.

Beni Suef National University Faculty of Medicine

mohamed elsissy
A very bad place in every way. The nurse is more important than the manager. The police officer or security officer is the most important thing. It's as if you're in a government agency and you don't know anything about the system.
A very, very bad experience, unfortunately.

Mansoura National University Faculty of Medicine

exer compta
"The Faculty of Medicine at Mansoura University truly deserves a five-star rating, even though I have not yet visited it. One day, I will be destined to visit the land of Egypt and meet Dr. and preacher Ahmed Abdel Moneim. Greetings from the city of Salé in Morocco."
