Global Explorer from CAI and payment

I know that the issue of Global Explorer RTW ticket bought from Cairo has been discussed on this forum, but I still would like to know if anyone has experiences on this.

From what I have read here, I understand that the best way to do this is to book through British Airways and have the ticket issued at BA's Cairo airport ticket office. However according to the Global Explorer rules "TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED AT LEAST 7 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE FIRST FLIGHT." Do you know if I have to pick-up and pay the tickets 7 days in advance or can I just fax my credit card details to BA's Cairo Airport office and ask them to issue the tickets and keep them until I collect them (I don't want to spend waiting 7 days in Cairo).

I have tried to contact BA's office at Cairo Airport, but had no answer (although in a recorded message they say to be open from 6am to 4pm).
