1) I answererd your 29/12 question already pointing out that according to the information I found on Ghanaian visas, you can only get a visa on arrival if you are resident in a country that does not have a Ghanaian Embassy.
2) Pieter-Jan already answered your other question telling you exactly where the Ghana Embassy is in Cairo, and I know you saw that answer since you also then asked him whether he knew the opening hours!!

Or see http://gattagh.com/missions.html.
Mind you, as I also mentioned, it is not always possible anyway to get a visa from a country you are not resident in (and when it is, it can be more expensive), so if you are not a resident of Egypt, you would have done better to get a visa for Ghana before leaving the UK.

Which does not explain why you repeat the question about visas on arrival or ask "where is the embassy" instead of whether anyone knows where it moved to from the Dokki address, if that is no longer valid.
I don't know whether the Mohandessin address given in the website I gave you is current either, although it ought to be - but you could have found that site by googling in the first place.
If neither is correct, I can only suggest you ask one of the other Ghanaian Embassies listed in that website, they should be able to tell you where the Cairo one is and in any case they should all be giving the same advice as regards the rules for issuing visas (e.g. to non-resident applicants).

I am British and flew to Ghana few times and always collected my visa at the airport... you cannot obtain it though without showing them your yellow fever innoculation certificate.
