I'm moving to Cairo at the end of the month, from Dublin. As I haven't ever set foot in the place, I was wondering if anyone could give me a name of a good European style bar or two. Not that I intend to spend my time hanging around western style watering holes...just that I'm sure there'll come a time when I'll be glad of one. Also, if there's anywhere worth avoiding, please let me know.
Thanks,
Andrew

I don't know Cairo at all but you are right in thinking that sometimes it is good to know a place where ex-pats hang out. New places come sometimes be lonely and when I first came to Egypt I longed for European company and thoughts of 'home'. You can be sure that others feel the same and that means that you are always welcome.

Hi Andy
Check out www.cairodining.com, search under 'night spots' - this has a fairly good list of bars/nightclubs. Some of my favourite places are After Eight, Cairo Jazz Club, Absolute and Deals.
Enjoy your stay in Cairo.
Cheers Ann

I think I'll be there for a year or so. I write for a couple of newspapers in Ireland, and I'll be able to carry on doing about half of what I'm doing at the moment. So I probably won't need local work, but I might try and get some part-time work. My main reason for moving is to learn the language...

Andy - you are right. It grew on me and now I am totally confused as to where my 'home' is. Egypt is winning this internal battle hands down at the moment.

Kenzie is a mine of information about Egypt and will give you a lot of help.
The main thing to come to terms with living in Egypt is a complete dismissal of time. Few Egyptian homes have clocks - they are seldom needed. It takes some getting used to, but when you do it is complete liberation.

Nope! According to German spelling rules it should read "Viel Spaß" ...
I agree with your recommendations, would maybe add After Eight for dancing, Andrea Zamalek for warm summer nights in a hip loungy outdoor setting and Andrea Maadi for nice, reasonably priced Egyptian food and a gorgeous view of the Nile, especially when there's a full moon.
And btw ... there are quite a few Irish people in Cairo ...

Pedant! Thanks for the tips. There seems to be a lot more to Cairo than I thought...
