Webmaster's comment: They contacted me and said that they had experience working with "deaf, dumb and blind travel". I hope to contact them some day when I visit Egypt to see if they can hook me up with some d/Deaf people.
Bendeck, G. (2205, November 21). GW Expat: The quietest KFC in Cairo. As we saddled up to the counter to place our heart attacks, the gentleman manning the cash register had me point at what I wanted, fanned his mouth asking if I wanted it hot or not and pointed at the receipt to show me how much I owed. I was a little surprised; most restaurant employees in Cairo speak English. It was only when he clapped loudly to get my attention that I realized I wasn't in any KFC. I was in the only deaf KFC in Cairo.

Deaf school, Cairo. The Deaf Unit is part of the work of the Anglican Diocese of Egypt, which also oversees several other projects. There are three main areas of work at The Deaf Unit. The first is a school, the second is a vocational training centre and the third is a deaf club. Whilst everyone is encouraged to pay for the services offered by The Deaf Unit, no one in genuine need is turned away.
Mittler, P. International experience in including children with disabilities in ordinary schools. This paper was originally prepared for a meeting organised by UNICEF to stimulate discussion on the possibilities of inclusion in Tunisia. It was written in response to a request to provide examples of countries where inclusive policies were being implemented. Most of the examples refer to countries in the Middle East or North Africa or to other French or Arabic speaking countries.

Abstract: The work presented in this paper aims to developing a system for automatic translation of gestures of the manual alphabets in the Arabic sign language. The proposed system uses Discrete Fourier Transforms on the global pulse signal of a pulse-coupled neural network (PCNN). We describe the mathematical model of the (PCNN) and an original way of analyzing the pulse of the network in order to achieve scale and translation-independent recognition for isolated gestures.

aldaronline.com. (2008, September 23). الأزهر يرفض ترجمة القرآن إلى لغة الإشارة
القاهرة – «الدار»
رفض علماء مجمع البحوث الإسلامية خلال جلسة المجمع برئاسة الدكتور سيد طنطاوي شيخ الازهر إجازة ترجمة القرآن لأي لغة أو بلغة الاشارة لأن هذا يخرج القرآن الكريم عن إعجازه اللغوي الذي تحدى الله تعالى به أرباب اللغة.
لكنهم أجازوا ترجمة معاني القرآن لأي لغة أو حتى لغة الإشارة .. وقد جاء هذا الرفض ردا على خطاب وزارة التضامن الاجتماعي والتي طلبت رأي الازهر في الحكم الشرعي حول ترجمة النص القرآني للغة الإشارة لتحفيظ الصم والبكم القرآن الكريم
