Hello,
English is more common as a foreigner language in Egypt, you will find as well street indications in English, and in school they started mostly with English as first foreigner language.
But you will be not totaly lost with French, because in Cairo, you have also French influences and many schools with French Tuition, but not everybody in the street or taxidriver is speaking or understanding French.
I am myself, I am speaking several languages, but in Cairo English is for the Tourism the most common language
Welcome in Cairo
