No problem getting there at that hour but trying to drive back later may be an issue...

My boss has just returned from a weeklong holiday there. He says to watch out for the taxi drivers...even worse than here, apparently.

Egyptian drivers believe that using headlights wears down the car battery, so don't like to use them.

Good luck!

But let us not forget that he has not met you, yet...the celibacy is to do with a dicky heart rather than out of choice...poor fellow.
