What about the free shuttle from Cairo to Alexandria that is being provided? Will we get information on that soon? Such as: where it is located from the airport, how to obtain tickets, how far is the station in Alexandria from the dorms? (echoing Lodewijk here, but with a week to go, I'd really like to be prepared). -- Al Tally (User:Majorly)
