Oh yes, I'm Finnish.
For a quite nice living, you could count 3000 LE for a month. Depends from your rent of course :)
1500 - 2000 pounds for rent per a month is ok. Because you are foreigner the landlords will want more money and there is a lot expensive apartments, too. Some people I know are paying up to 5000 LE per month, which I think is way too much. The apartments are usually rented as furnished - but the level of the furniture and other stuff depends of your luck. So you would need some money to get the basic stuff for bedroom (sheets, blankets for winter etc.) and kitchen for eating and cooking and all the stuff for cleaning. You don't have to pay a lot for all the stuff, but 2000 - 3000 should cover all of the basic and you would have enough money to choose something you like. Good thing is that when you leave, you can sell most of the stuff and get some money back.
For food and transportation 1000 pound per month is good figure. You are foreigner and all the foreign stuff here is expensive. You may be able to eat and travel only a 10 pounds for a day, but some days you will want to feel home and get something expensive. Going to eat to restaurants will cost too.
And sometimes is good to go shopping and you will need some clothes from time to time. You can't bring all of them with you.
Things to bring to Cairo:
- make-up and creams
- hair products
- shoes
- warm winter clothes and jacket
- hot water bottle (spelling?)
- underwear
- microfiber cloths for cleaning
- magnesium
Those are just what I came up quickly...
I think this helps you anyway :)
