..have been invited to our friends for Xmas in Cairo.
Is this a very low key affair?
Do folk still put up trees and have lunch?
Any good,non-smoking hotels that do Xmas Lunch?
Info appreciated from anyone who has experienced Xmas in Cairo as an expat..cheers

To my knowledge, they dont put up Christmas trees in Egypt... Unless your friends are foreigners and you can picture a palm tree with decorations, a Christmas tree...

Non-smoking hotel in Egypt?? Wrong Country!! Hell, you'll be very lucky to find a non-smoking room!!! Smoking is permitted or at least tolerated pretty much everywhere in Egypt.
