I'm moving from a smaller town and want to know if my budget will stretch.
How expensive is daily life in Aswan compared to the rest of Egypt?
1 Answer
Aswan’s cost‑of‑living index is 95, which means it is slightly below the national average (100). Everyday items such as groceries, utilities and dining out tend to be a bit cheaper than in larger cities like Cairo. Your overall budget will depend on lifestyle choices, but you can generally expect to spend a modest amount on basic needs. To get a clearer picture, compare prices on local market websites or use cost‑of‑living calculators that let you input Aswan’s index.
