Socials for oldies and newbies

Thanks Rozypearl England was fun! And the sun even came out most days
Hope Alex was nice, Cairo was really warm on Friday!!

It didn't work out on Friday night but we'll try again this weekend

Any suggestions for when/where you'd like to go this time (anyone)?

Just testing the water, how would ppl feel about a social in Heliopolis (or thereabouts) some time? There's a few of us who travel from Heliopolis to Zamalek/Mohandeseen/Downtown all the time, it might be nice to have a break just once Just a thought, I'd understand if it's too far for some to travel.

Elaine

come and join us till now we are more than 25

galabyaaaa partyyyyy

https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=86266

lol man i like that way u type!!!!!!!!!!

Mr hatahitos, hellooo! can't believe I overlooked that the galabiyya party was this weekend! I'll try to come but it depends on getting a lift as it's a long way from Cairo and i'm not sure what time I'll be free yet thanks for the reminder though and I encourage everyone to go to the party!

Hi El,
How are you doing?
Is there any meeting planned this weekend?
I did read about the Galabaya party... but am not sure whether I will be able to make it there...

In case there is an other meet planned elsewhere (heliopolis would be great) do let me know

Hi,
there's a gig at the Mohandessin BCA clubhouse on Thursday which should be good fun. There is also a yacht party run by Cairo Expats which is a regular event on Fridays. Other than that I'm not sure - I think lots of people will go to the party this weekend, maybe next weekend we'll do something more local .

Mr H, I live in Heliopolis so it seems like a lot of effort to go all the way to Giza for a lift... unless the venue is in that direction? I'm not really sure where it is! As I said I'm not sure when I'll be free so I might miss the lifts... but give me a couple of days and I'll know thanks

Hello. Iam also thinking about attending this party,  but Iam kind of shy as I donot know anyone there  plus  Idonto have a car,  Are there girls will join the party?  or it is only for men?  I live in Heliopolis  so maybe if there someone living here as well so we can go to Haram togather?

You mean tomorrow?? nice enthusiasm but it's a bit last minute to organise paintballing anyway it's sooo hot during the day now wouldn't it be unbearable?

I'm up for doing something during the day tomorrow if there are any takers al Azhar park for an afternoon lunch? Or somewhere on the Nile?

Hey Elain, sorry just read ur post now. I've been up to my elbow in marking exams and writing reports so I had no time to scratch basicly, it'll all be over soon. This is the first time I've logged on for more than a week now. We love to join the next outing if it is on Thursday or Saturday, as I'll be busy on Friday. Hope to see u soon. Take Care

Hey Guys,
I haven't been here for ages and it's amazing to see what all of you are doing with the 'get togethers'
I live in Heliopolis btw, so any lifts will be on me from now on to all those hello ppl

How about a felouka ride in the Nile this Saturday ? (seems like a short notice I know, but thought I'd give it a shot)

Anyone in?

Cheers..

hi Rozypearl I'll organise something for next Thursday night so hopefully you can attend. Good luck with your exams until then!

Kryptonite, sorry I only just saw your message and I'm stuck at home today anyway, another time though. Why don't we arrange the felucca ride for next Friday afternoon, around 4pm? Does that suit you (& anyone else)? We can meet by the Grand Hyatt/Four Seasons hotels.

Hi everybody. I'm a new member here. i'm interested with the paintball activity. how much does it cost? where's the location? Eltviola, seems you are the organizer here. Nice to meet you. Hope can join all of you soon. Felluca ride would be nice too. Will confirm it later.

Hello m.hamada and welcome to Expat.com!

I hope that you will soon have replies to your query.

Good luck,
Harmonie.

Hi m.hamada I try to organise events but I am not THE organiser it's open to anyone who takes the initiative, and it should be a team effort. Thanks for your interest though I don't know much about the paintball as I didn't get enough people confirming to arrange it before, but it's based in Rehab city

It seems like no-one else is interested in the felucca ride idea which surprises me because it's a cheap, relaxing and fun way to spend a couple of hours in Cairo. Do our regulars even check this thread any more? Some feedback would be appreciated If it's not working we can go back to having lots of separate topics for each event, I just thought this might be easier to manage.

Elaine

@harmonie, @etviola, thanks for your reply but I'm so sorry. I have another urgent matters,so I'm off to Tanta maybe for 2 weeks, hope to join you soon. Really interested in Paintball~

thanks for letting me know and have fun

Hello Elaine, I was wondering actually if this is for expats only or not ? also if there are any outings soon ?

Why would you wonder about  that? Just look at the people I talk to on the forum, they're mostly Egyptian! I've always been clear that public events I organise are open to all

As for the next event, next Friday is the Korba festival (Heliopolis) - Is anyone interested in going? It's near my place so I'll be going anyway we could meet at 2pm by korba Starbucks (put coordinates 30.092218,31.323239 into google maps).
Let me know if you can make it anyone

Hi Elaine,
We met briefly at a get together a few weeks ago (the American who recognized you from this blog!)  What's the Korba festival all about?  Sounds interesting.

Oh Oh!!! missed this event completely.
How was the festival?

Hope to catch up with the group next time around...
Thanks El

Hey Elain,
I have been checking the thread as frequent as I can. I do get a bit busy sometimes but I always try to keep checking every now and then. I couldn't join the feluca ride that was supposed to happen yesterday but If we organize it another time I'll definately come, as u said it's a cheap way to relax and spend two hours.

As for the Korba festival, I'd love to join. Maree wouldn't mind to come along either. We can also get Ian and Yasmin to come. I hope even more people tag along. It would be fun. Let's stay in contact and if i have more friends coming, I'll update u.

P.S. Thank u yes.
