Hi.. I'm moving to Cairo in August with my new job. Not sure where I will be located yet, either 6th October or New Cairo.. I'm trying to lear Arabic but don't know much yet... was wonering how easy it will be getting around cairo on metro/bus/taxi with virtually no Arabic... also on shops where in these areas is it best to buy food and how to get there.

I was lso wondering how easy it is to fin good hair dye and doedrants... also i'm tall for a girl so long womens trousers and skirts????

Thanks for all your help!!! (also if there is anyone who would be willing to meet up for a coffee/shopping/cinema when i arrive tht would be great!)
