Hi,

Please could you tell me if children are allowed to your Cairo clubhouse, and if not do you have any mothers meeting places you could tell me about?
I am bored out of my mind, with no other English speakers around me, (apart from my husband)

Also can you tell me what activities you do at the club house


my last question is do you have any online literature like a hand book i could read?

Many thanks

Dena

Hi Dina,

Children are allowed into the club house, however we do ask that you don't take them to the bar and that they are well behaved.
We do not do activities as such, we a primarily a social club based on British clubs.
Pool, Darts, Gym. discos and parties are held regularly as well as Nile boat trips.
We do have a online site just google BCA cairo.
Deena if your children are young perhaps the Swiss club in Imbaba would be ideal as they have a huge grass area, just google them.
Where do you live Dena?
Would you like to meet for a coffee?

Hi,
I'll be going to live in Cairo by end of December. I'd love to meet some people because I don't know anyone there. So I'd be really interested in joining your club. Where is it located? I don't have a flat yet so this might influence my choice...

Hello,

Are there any British or English speaking clubs/associations in Hurghada that you know of, or any plans to start one?

No there is no BCA in the red sea area and as far as I know no plans to start them.

Hi MaidenScotland
Question?
The clubs you have there are they for all ages as well. I am moving there next month and I really would like to know other women to meet and go out with. I look forward to meeting new friends when I get there....thank you

[MaidenScotland]

Yes all ages are welcome as are all nationalities even Egyptians as long as they have another passport with an entry visa showing that they entered Egypt as a foreigner.
