Hi, What do you usually do on your weekends in Alexandria? Are there any places to visit, any activities, any events or festivals regularly organized you would like to recommend? What are your top tips for the weekend in Alexandria? ...

OK, Davy, I'll keep your recommendations in mind when I'm looking for a place that serves alcohol. That's not really to the point of my earlier post. I was in Moscow during the time you mentioned, and for years before and after. The ... Read More
Expats gathering, meeting new firends -----NOT dating by yaqianq
Hi Guys, My name is Dara and I'm Chinese. I just move to Cairo one month ago for work. Currently living in Nasr city. Thinking about to meet more people here also living in Cairo, for a coffee, a Chat, or some attend some activities together. ...
Omar, Frankly, no idea. I was invited to join by a friend, who sent me a link. The person who runs the Alexandria chapter is Hazem. Full name and title, below. I don't have his e-mail, but you might try to DM him on Internations ... Read More
