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

Hi all And I hope you're settling in well Purplelilychick
Check the social stickies if you're interested in an outing on the 23rd Sept in Zamalek, it'd be great to see some new faces there
