My flight is leaving on 20 July at 7:30 am. Does anyone else have a flight around this same time and would they like to go to Cairo together? Awadewit/Adrianne Wadewitz

From Delta hotel to Borg el Arab airport
by Akash Shah 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I have a flight from the Borg el Arab airport at 14:15 on 20th July (Sunday). Will leave for the airport around 10 am. If anyone is planning to leave for the airport at that time, I'd be happy to share a cab. Also, can someone tell me how long it would take for me to reach the airport from the Delta. And how much would a cab to the airport cost. Regards, Akash

Dorm details
by Brian McNeil 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Can someone let me know the details about the dorm address? I am concerned that a full postal address will be required for visa-on-arrival and want to make sure I have that to complete the form and be permitted to enter the country. Also, I arrive 14:15 on the 16th at Terminal 2 of Cairo International. How long should it take to get to where the bus is supposed to be picking us up at terminal 1, and when after that arrival time is the next bus scheduled?

15 Jul '08

Hi. I am coming to Alexandria from Cairo taking a Turbine train. The train leaves Cairo at 7pm and reaches Alexandria at 9pm. Could someone tell me which station do I get off at (if the train us going to stop at more than 1 station in Alexandria). Also, my accommodation is at Hotel Delta. How do I reach Delta from the station. And will there be Wikimania volunteers at Hotel Delta to guide me. Akash

Open content Map of Alexandria
by Jakob Voss 15 Jul '08

Hi! I found that the coverage of Alexandria in OpenStreetMap is very poor: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=31.2004&lon=29.9025&zoom=14&layers=B00FTF compare to this map: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Map1-alex.jpg How about mapping Alexandria for OpenStreetMap? Does anyone bring his GPS device? Greetings Jakob

How to confirm my accommodation?
by Takashi OTA 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi lists, I'm just wondering how to check my accurate registration details. Registration confirmation email includes - Confirmation Number - Name - Email - Accommodation: July 16, July 17, July 18, July 19 - Accommodation choice: $6 and no hotel name there. (What's $6???) Judging from my payment details, what I chose must be Delta Hotel. If anybody knows right way to check it, please tell me. --Takashi

Additional shuttle details
by Awadewit 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

I, too, would appreciate additional details on where to catch the shuttle at the Cairo airport. I am already in Cairo, so I was just planning on showing up at the airport wearing my Wikipedia t-shirt at my appointed time and trying to find people, but a firmer plan would be nice. Awadewit
