hi newgirl
1st both of 6th October & New cairo i quite far from Cairo i wondering why u will live that far

any way , sure you have a reason ,
about how easy your will get around cairo , yeah its easy but tired in da sametime , by microbus u will get around cairo , & i think also there is a bus line serving this area , but it will not be convenient & its hardly to get a taxi & i think the taxi will cost around 20 , 25 EGP & the microbus around 2 EGP .
and about the arabic , its easy to say the places you want to go , u just have to pronouns them right , & it will be easy if you work on it , (i can help if would like)
anyway & about makets , there is some famous makets near by 6th October & New cairo like Carfour & Hyper1 , & if you are near by cairo , there is alot of markets (like metro , alfa , ...... ) & there also old makets in many places (
that if you like to get your stuff fresh meat , Vegetables and fruits),
note the fresh stuff is cheaper & more healthy than you get it from famous markets .
& sure also ill be glad to show you , when u come , & also any body would love to know that ,
& about the womens trousers and skirts , you will find in midtoun alot of shops & don't worry , u will find any size u want easy , just u have to search .
& about the hair & body care u also will find nice & exp. places i can show u what my sisters go to , but thats if you are near by , but if you live somewhere in 6th October & New cairo , i also know alot of female friends there , i can ask them for you , when you know exc. where u will located .
if you want more inf. or help , just ask , you are very wellcome
goodluck
