Well, when I was in Cairo, my now-Mother-in-law almost begged to do my laundry for me, and I had the same hesitation as you. So I had taken little travel packets of Woolite with me, and washed and hung-to-dry my own underwear. My MIL did my shirts and pants and socks. Things dry very quickly over there, so it was never a problem.
But as far as doing your own laundry in a laundromat-type facility, I'm afraid I have no idea. Posts: 8794 | From: 01-20-09 The End of an Error | Registered: Dec 2004

Every street corner has a laundry... average price per garment 1 le. BUT... always run by men.... better to wash your own pants.. they dont like ladies undies... they get embarassed!!

Do the drop off laundries actually use a dryer or hang it out like we do at home here? Just curious. I haven't seen a dryer in those places just washer? The weather in winter it doesn't dry so fast..so if you have heavy jeans for instance don't plan on them drying one day unless it is a sunny, warm winter day. Those lightweight exercise pants are good for travel, fold well, wash easy, dry fast..or light khaki's..just my find.

Hi, I was in Egypt in August and I didn't see one laundry mat. I had the same experience.. my fiance's mom did my laundry.. and I never gave my underclothes.. it was a little embarrassing. When we stayed in Cairo.. it's true.. all the laundry businesses were ran by men and it was like a dry cleaning service... my fiance always took our clothes to be washed and they were back in a matter of a couple of hours and delivered in hangers and folded in the same manner as our dry cleaning here in the States..it was fine and soooooooooooo cheap!! I have never seen a washer and dryer like we have here in the States.... Have fun!! Sofia

Bring plenty of undies because if you run out of clean ones and you want to buy a couple "emergency" pairs, Egypt is not the place to buy them. Trust me, I've looked through many a bin of grannie panties to know.
