New English-Language Publication in Cairo

Just a heads-up to the Arabist's readers.
A lot of longerish Cairo-based journalists and former staff from the Cairo Times are starting up a new English-language publication called "Cairo". It will be a weekly publication - slated for Thursday street releases - and will cover Egyptian (and regional) news, business, and leisure topics.
The print magazine has not been released yet but I spoke with one of the editor's today, who informed me that the zero-issue is in circulation and some stories are on the Web. I also attended a meeting for the new publication a few weeks back and the mag has a lot of positive energy.
"Cairo"can be found at http://www.cairomagazine.com
I am sure the staff will appreciate the traffic and thoughts on the new venture.
Alf Mabrouk and best of luck to the CM - I am sure it will quickly reclaim the CT's place in the market as it sets new standards of quality and news coverage about Masr. To many productive years...

Whatever happened to CT? It just disappeared off my radar screen one day.
The owner of the CT let it fade away after he got involved in a new Arabic language publication. One of the major problems of the CT was that it was in debt, or so I have been told.
What neighborhood is the office in?
Thanks.
Cairo magazine is in downtown. Check the webpage, call them, and I am sure they will be happy to pass along directions.
Thanks for the heads-up.
The more informative sources we have the better.
