There are some alternatives coming up such as Al Reen Towers in November. They plan to be cheaper and looked better - more space and better laid out based on a viewing. The good thing about Ezdan is that you don't need to sign for 12 months. Some people say that they hold you to the contract so don't sign for long term.

Make your own judgement on places to live by visiting and talking to people already there...

Good luck!
