EVERY week thousands of Egyptians cram past a narrow, tightly guarded doorway at Uber's offices a few blocks from Tahrir Square and wait in a small room. Nearly 2,000 of them are signing up as new drivers every week 40% of them previously unemployed. Nearby, Uber's growing customer-service centre employs 250 locals. The company is earmarking more than $50m to expand operations in Cairo alone.
