Hi and welcome :) I hope you'll join one of the social gatherings when you arrive - I'll be back in Cairo by then too, and Ramadan will be drawing to a close. There's always an excuse for an outing if you look for one ;)

In the mean time, I hope you make contact with a few people via the forum so you feel happier about moving to Egypt and making friends, and if you have any questions they can be answered before you arrive :D
