    One clientco ran a minibus from the train station to the site and it was full of bobs on ICTs. I only got on if it was raining heavy because the smell of stale curry was overpowering. It must have seeped out of every pore and bathnight was once a fortnight

You'll just need to be super careful with what you eat (pretend to be vegetarian) and especially when brushing your teeth in the hotel - it's bottled water for everything, no exceptions.

        Business flights and decent accommodation is probably a given - don't go otherwise.

            I got the trots everytime I went to work in Cairo however careful I was. The biggest culprit was the money. Carrying an antibacterial gel helped loads but never really dodged it completely.
