How much is car hire in Egypt?

I want to travel round Egypt a bit. How much am I likely to be able to
get the cheapest smallest car for?

I would probably be hireing it in Cairo or Sharm el Sheikh. I would
want it for 7 to 14 days. I am willing to barter, and take a risk of
mechanical breakdown.

Thank you for any help.

Believe me, you don't want to drive a car in Egypt. Second, you are willing
to take a risk of a mechanical breakdown, but how about a traffic accident
(your fault or not) or the reaction of the people after you hit a child with
"your" car?

That's what I heard, yes. Advice is to drive off, and try to find a police
station. Never experienced it myself though.
