American grocery items in Cairo by Roxlet
I am hoping to find American grocery items somewhere in Cairo. Specifically, I am looking for chocolate chips, brown sugar, canned pumpkin, canned cranberry sauce, baking powder, baking soda, buttermilk, etc. Does anyone know if -- and where -- ...
Valibilic - Did you not notice that I didn't mention the commissary until I was asked directly where I shop? I chimed in with the information I had that would be useful and kept the rest to myself until it would have been ruder not to mention it ... Read More

Unfortunately I think it's that way with any government bureaucracy anywhere. But I'm sorry you had a bad experience; hopefully you won't have to go back or, if you do, will have a better experience next time. Read More

I'm an American woman who's lived in Egypt for a year. I'm a Christian, so of course I disagree with those who say that Islam is the most beautiful religion of all--and I expect Muslims to disagree with me when I say that Christianity is the most ... Read More
Cairo/Egypt questions by mohameda
