YS I am a part of a close knit group of friends who go out every Tuesday Night, hense our name 'The Tuesday Nighters' and we try and go to different places every Tuesday. Most of us are based in Heliopolis, but we do venture to Maadi, Zamalek and Mohendiseen to try restaurants there.
If you're interested in joining us let me know.
I'm also interested in going out to other places and meeting new people, so I'm game.

Hi,
I'm quite new to Cairo and I'm living in Heliopolis for the next year(ish), moved here about 2 months ago from the UK with work. I'm always up for eating out with people or going to the opera house - is it ok to tag along some time if you're going out? I'm trying to meet expats here as I don't know many so far and it's nice to talk to people on familiar ground sometimes :-)

I went to one of the Richoux tea rooms recently, in City Stars, and it was really nice :-) assume that's the same chain? Anyway hopefully we'll meet up some time soon at the next gathering - I would organise something but I don't know Cairo that well in terms of places to go out in the evening.

Anything happening next week? Can someone take a leap and propose somewhere? :-)

Noooo!! There's gotta be a place no?! The closest I've found so far is La Bodega, but the smoke in there was intense. So weird being in a resto/bar where everyone is smoking.

Hi, it's difficult getting people together, whatever country you're in! :-(
a few of us are meeting for a drink tonight at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Zamalek for about 8pm - come along if you can :-D Maybe then we'll have more luck organising dinner for another day.

Hi all, thought we should organise another social mixer now we're in a new year and there are some new members around :-) I would post this in a new topic but I must be blind and/or stupid cos I can't work out how to do that!

Hope everyone sees this.

How about we meet at 8pm Friday 14th Jan at our old favourite(

), Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Zamalek, near 26th July street (see link for details: Coffee bean location ) I'll sit inside, probably upstairs as there's more room for a group. For the new folks, look for the ginger hair, you can't miss me

.
Who's in?

Just to clarify, anyone can come, it's an open invitation to anyone on the Cairo forum who wants to make friends whether expat or Egyptian. If lots of people can't make Friday, let me know, it's flexible so we can change the day with a little warning

Hope to see lots of you there,
Elaine

lol yeah I figured most of us have already spent far too much time aimlessly exploring the place and getting strange looks from people. Just hope there's room for us!

Hi dr.tott,

The German expatriates in Cairo network might help you to find some contacts.

Good luck.
