business cards to give to new friends in Egypt

if you plan to send postcards from Egypt, make peel n' stick address labels to take along
resealable plastic bags in several sizes
clothesline, clothes pins, and a small bottle of detergent

cell phone (check with your service provider for a reasonable plan that will allow you to call and/or text message within Egypt)
