No! Not that hash!
If you’re interested, you can check out the website http://www.cairohash.com/ and even search for a Hash House Harriers group in your area. 
But I got your attention didn’t I? :-)
If I’m in Cairo for the weekend, I typically join the Cairo Hash House Harriers (CH3) on Fridays. CH3 is a local chapter of an international running/walking/drinking club. They call themselves a drinking club with a running problem. They gather on Fridays in Cairo (our Sunday) and carpool out into the desert within an hours drive of the city for a hike or run and some juvenile merriment. So, just as the devote Muslims are gathering for their communal noontime prayers, we are frolicking in the desert drinking beers.
CH3 is a good, fun group and you get see a part of Egypt not on any tourist maps and a little exercise. However, like my loyal volleyball teammates at home, sometimes there’s more beer then exercise. But that’s all part of the fun!
