Harambee Stars, under French coach Sebastien Migne, landed in Cairo on Wednesday from Paris where they had camped for three weeks.
The team has so far held two training sessions in Cairo and were due to hold their third one on Friday night as they continue to acclimatise after 19 days in Europe.
All trainings are being conducted at night to avoid the stifling heat of the day. Cairo recorded a high of 37 degrees on Thursday and Friday is expected to be just as hot.
