I have a client who has sent me a voice-over job, as part of a multi-faceted project. I am new to voice-over. Does anyone know of a reliable studio I can use, knowing that I live in Cairo? Also, I don't have the faintest idea about voice-over rates. Please, advise
Many thanks, guys!

Check for film studios and TV stations in Cairo area

You might check for film studios in the Cairo area and/or film-industry-related firms which do post-production work that includes voice-overs of dialogue in foreign films.
Ditto for Cairo-based TV stations which use VTs/other-media copies of foreign productions.

Whatver source you find, insure that
(1) the system you would use for producing voice-overs is compatible with what your customer wants
and
(2) you insist that the studio you engage for that voice-over production and insertion will provide you with training (and time to practice) on using that system.
Adjust your quote (complete production fee) to your customer to cover the additional expenses incurred for using that studio.
Voice-over production, like subtitling and time-encoding, is not simple or cheap, if your customer desires a quality product.
Hope this helps.
Khair, in shaa' Allah.
