Hi
I am living in Cairo, and after Wikimania I will have to work, but I only work on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays so the rest of the weekend I am free for sightseeing, even though I live in Cairo, I have many places to visit as a tourist, so I am open for going out with you Maria or anybody else that wants to join, but I don't know the dates you will be in Cairo...
Here in Cairo, I can manage to go to the Pyramids, The Museum, The Citadel of Salah El Din...and Khan El Khalili, of course taking a taxi ;) so I think we can manage to make a nice sightseeing. Also there are some nice spots at night to visit, like Nile Blue, Morocco, After Eight, or just eat some egyptian food or maybe just take a ride in the Nile in a boat.

Actually, I'll be leaving from Cairo the 21st at 3 am, which means that I'll have a free day in Cairo on the 20th.
Any wikimedian company during that last day in Cairo is welcome, even if we might arrange for this on Alexandria ;)

I think this is one of the topics that could be considered as on topic here, actually :)

Hi everyone,
I have a little problem concerning staying in Egypt after Wikimania: I have guaranteed lodging with a friend of my family who lives in Cairo, but as far as I know she'll be working all day and therefore not available for sightseeing. Now, I am the first to admit that I am the most scatterbrained, absent-minded person ever; I also freely admit that I get lost in supermarkets (even the one I use every week). I really, truly do. I am infamous for turning a street corner and then wondering which way I had come from. Family members place bets on how far I am from my intended destination whenever I go out. Honestly. I am afraid that if I go out alone in Cairo I will get seriously lost.
My point is, are there any Wikimedians thinking of staying on in Cairo/elsewhere in Egypt after Wikimania? And if there is, would they mind having me tag along while sightseeing?
I asked on the Wikimania IRC channel if it was OK to send this e-mail to the list. They said yes, but I apologize if anyone finds it too off-topic. Feel free to e-mail me directly if you wish to do so.
Happy editing, --Maria User:Arria Belli
