I need some information on ancient Egypt for a fictional personal recount that I'm writing for school, and please don't suggest wikipedia because I need more than what they have there.

Like, did they have slaves?
What kind of names did they have? Like Cleopatra or Xara or something like that?
What is the olden name of the city Cairo?
Can you name another city near Cairo that is also along the Nile River? And how far is it- like how many days' journey on foot and horseback?
Is the time Queen Cleopatra was in reign called the Cleo Dynasty or else what is it?
Did Queen Cleopatra entertain envoys from other countries, especially European countries? If so, which countries specifically?
What are female Egyptian slaves in Egypt to do?

I have about 5 days to get this short story done, although I did ask for an extension. Please help! And serious answers, please.
