Spending data in Egypt is not really available: the Ministry of Finance publishes laws, quaterly briefs and suchlikes, but very few actual data. When the latter is available online, it is through PDFs. The Central Bank of Egypt also publishes data (see here for ex.: http://www.cbe.org.eg/English/Economic+Research/Time+Series/).

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/
