What are the recurring things people join there, like weekly clubs, classes or volunteering, where a newcomer can actually become a regular? I'll be staying near Al Nasr Rd if that matters for anything convenient.

Try the weekly hash runs with Cairo Hash House Harriers, they meet near Maadi and you'll be a regular after two visits.

yeah but the runs rotate locations so check the facebook group each week & bring cash for the post-run drinks

fair warning the group is mostly older expats, not a young crowd. if ur near al nasr rd the drive out is annoying on a weeknight so carpool if u can

How bad is the traffic there during morning rush, and is there anything about the road layout or exits I should know before I arrive?

morning rush on Al Nasr is rough, i'd budget 45 min for a stretch that takes 15 off peak. the road itself is fine but watch for the u-turn slots, they come up suddenly and people cut across lanes to hit them. also ngl the microbus drivers stop anywhere, so keep a gap. gas up before you head out, stations on that road are sparse.

Flyover exit near City Stars, easy to miss.

yeah that whole stretch around Abbas El Akkad is confusing if you don't know it. the turnoffs come up fast and signage is mostly Arabic, so learn your lane early. honestly google maps saved me more than once there.
