There is a Moulinex shop in downtown which sells gas cartridges; it is the only shop I have seen with these cartridges. I can't pinpoint where exactly it is, but it's in the block between (and including) Sherif Street and Mohamed Farid (west to east) and Kasr al Nile and Sabri Abou Alam (north to south). Just ask for Moulinex and people in the neighbourhood will know where it is. Good luck with your trip. For more info on cycling the Western Desert: www.cyclingegypt.com
