Wow that's a shame :-( good job you have these connections Mahmoud

why don't we do the felucca ride this Friday instead then? We can meet at 3pm opposite the Four Seasons hotel on the Nile and go for 2-3 hours. Bring some snacks along and we can make it a floating dish party!! Who's in?

I'd love to come, but I'll be having dental surgery on Thursday and will be high on painkillers! I hope you all have fun.

Sorry to hear that   Good luck with your surgery, I hope you don't lose the power to speak :S

Glad you can make it John25 Let's get as many people as possible, it'll be really fun

I'm in I'd like that too. It would be relaxing and fun. See u all then.

where and when to meet?

It is obvious that i didnt enter here from a long time, I have read alot of messages there, I didnt know that the festival has been cancelled
U  know Elain, I love felucca so much, i missed it, didnt ride it from a long time, it is nice idea, but that means that everyone has to be on time

The problem with me that I have work, and I will finish at 3 pm, my work is at Ramsis, Don't know if I will be able to be there at 3, but i can be there at 3:30 or something

Hope the weather will be nice at that day or we will suffer

The Londener, we do really miss u like hell, missed u and ur funny atmosphere, and missed talking to u, just takecare of urself and I will call u to know how is the surgery, u will be okay, just take care

Have a great day

Sorry guys I think we should reschedule as there are protests planned on Friday at Tahrir and the fighting yesterday was pretty bad... I don't wanna get anyone hurt or into trouble. I think I'm gonna go to Al Azhar park instead and watch the sunset, it's a bit safer! We can do the felucca ride another time
4pm at Al Azhar Park?

Thanks that's really kind of you! But I'll actually be meeting with a friend first earlier on so it's ok I'll just head there with my friend

Hey Elain,
Thx for organizing the outing yesterday. I enjoyed it and enjoyed the sunset which was amazing. And it was nice seeing u and all that were there. Hope we could do the feluka ride soon. See u.

Thanks Rozypearl, it was good to see you too. The beautiful sunsets in Cairo will remain with me forever

Ohhhh i missed this one, but consider me in for the next

oh seems i missed this outing when will be the next outing?

Guys, I'm almost crying now it is the 2nd event i had missed
it is really so bad for me.

So, I want to Propose a NEW EVENT " Photography competition". it is like going out to some beautiful place like "azhar park" or "el maniel garden" and start taking photos and we can exchange them after and so on,,, What do u think????

HI ELAINE,

I AM EGYPTIAN AMERICAN; JUST MOVED BACK FROM THE STATES TO ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT. I COME TO CAIRO PERIODICALLY AND WOULD LOVE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE. MY NUMBER IS 016 1444 969. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED AS I HAVE VERY FEW ACQUAINTANCES HERE.

MERAL

Hi MERAL,

Can you please avoid using your caps lock on the forum. Thank you.

Hi MERAL,

Welcome to Egypt and Alex, wish u have all fun As much as u can
P.S. I think it is not recommended to post ur phone number on the forum. i think PM is more save

I always miss it   

ok so photography, sounds fun I haven't been to el maniel garden before - do you think it's safe to go there on a Friday? That's the only day I can do otherwise Al Azhar again I guess.

We can at least go out for dinner drinks in the evening on Thursday or Friday How about Sequoia or the Blue Nile? Feedback please

Elaine

Great, I want to Explore Sequoia as I havent been there.

Or El azhar Park as a lot missed the last event

i guess its not safe to go to manial garden on friday due for some clashes yesturday between police&some people! plus this friday8/july there will be a big protest in Tahrir square! 
so probably its better for all to go to Sequoia or even azhar park or any other place.

im sad coz i`ll miss this Friday event ... i have to be wiz my brothers & sisters in Tahrir square .. i know its a very crazy idea . but what about making our meeting inside the square itself ????????????

Are you serious ? when you say  a meeting in the square, seeing the number of people who might be there, this is not a good idea at all.

Excluded the fact to want or not to be involved in the protests, it's only to be together to be able to meet each other without losing ourselves.

it was just an idea .. plus i dont see it that dangerous . but anyway i said its a crazy idea

Not dangerous, just complicated cause of the number of people on the square, Egypt is a peace country. No way to have troubles.

I love Egypt, and I completely understand the protest, but I'd rather not be responsible for taking a group of people to Tahrir Square for a nice day out at the protest, given that the police have been known to occasionally shoot people and beat people up, and both sides have stone-throwing contests etc. I don't think my parents or my company would forgive me if I put myself in that situation

I'm happy with Sequoia, could meet there early evening? I can be there any time, so when do people want to meet? Be aware of the high minimum charge so it's best to eat there - luckily the food is great!
I need confirmation that you're definitely coming asap as I have to book a table and there's high demand at weekends.

Thanks,

Elaine

i wish if i could be there . but its done ... may be next time . i just wanaa ask about minimum charge . how much ?

Elaine, are we talking about Friday or Saturday? I would love to come (on either day, although Friday is preferred), have missed seeing your smile.

who wanna join for a great party tonight in Purpul club
for any information call me 0104561107

Hello ppl or should i say Gud Morning:cool:
im in for the Sequoia, and as a newbie i would want the address
for that

I understand the high minimum charge, but alcohol? Sorry but no-one's forcing you to drink it! It's nice for expats to have the choice. Anyway I don't go there for the alcohol, only the atmosphere and food

Londoner, I miss you too!! It's Friday that I'm thinking of, so I'll count you in.

For anyone who doesn't know where it is, here's the details: Sequoia
and the official website here
I think the minimum charge on weekends is around 140EGP (sorry it's not cheap, but worth it if you eat there).

I'm gonna book a table this evening for around 7.30pm tomorrow so confirm by then if you haven't already Remember, anyone is welcome as long as they commit and show up Socials depend on your participation guys and gals

Elaine

Elaine, I wud hv luved to come actually, Ive been trying to catch up since last weekend but unfortunately I hv to move to Munich for a few months starting sunday, Ill show up if im done packing

Hi Elaine,

I'm gonna miss another social but hope u have a fab time anyway. We live on the other side of town so tricky to get to sequoia without getting close to the square:oS will keep trying to see you at a social soon-and you've made a great choice for restaurant-food and atmosphere is great!

Lovelies

Max

msnassar you're welcome to join if you can, one extra won't matter for the booking.
