Lionel Messi is now in Egypt for the Hepatitis C charity event

Lionel Messi is in Cairo to promote an organisation that organises trips for patients suffering Hepatitis C to Egypt. The hotel where the event is, is located at the foot of the Giza pyramids. 

This charity act was postponed on a couple of occasions. The first for a terrorist attack that happened in Cairo, the second time because Barcelona were beaten 4-0 by PSG in the Champions League and he wanted to stay and train with his team-mates.

Finally Messi travelled to the Egyptian capital on Tuesday to take part in the event. He is expected to return later in the day to take part in training on Wednesday.
