What data is expected?

A database of postcodes/zipcodes and the corresponding geospatial locations in terms of a latitude and a longitude (or similar co-ordinates in an openly published national co-ordinate system). A database which gives a location in terms of the name of a town or a street without lat/long co-ordinates is not considered acceptable unless the name of the town or street can be further converted to a latitude and longitude by means of other open data (eg an open gazetteer with latitude and longitude attributes).

Details

Egyptian post services have notoriously worsened in the recent years. The link initially provided (http://egyptpost.org/mappost/map.html) doesn't seem to work. In addition, Egypt postal code is different from one city to another as it includes the governorate, the province, the type of service and a reference to the delivery post office in the area.

This website allows to search for a zip code, but not every such one in the country is available in its database: http://www.epcodes.com/
