Pros: fun, lively, lots of things to see and do Cons: time will fly by fast--it always does when you're having fun
As an Egyptian-American, I visit Egypt for 2 and a half months every summer. It is by-far the greatest city. There is always something to do. It will be a completely different experience for you, but you will remember it for the rest of your life. If...
Pros: Cultural amazement, Modern and Ancient Cons: Foreign culture can be confusing. HOT!
The origin of the name Cairo, Cahira or Qahira in Arabic, is in dispute. Some believe it comes from the word El Qahira (the victory), others tell a tale of the two cahiras (crows) that decided the fate of the pre-modern city in ancient myth. Either...
Imagine a desert with thousands of tons of sand. Imagine the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Now, imagine shopping like an American shopping queen!!!
Pros: great sites to see Cons: got to watch out for who you trust
My trip to Cairo was very exciting! I am an individual that has been to many different places abroad but this i will have to say is by far the best. I stayed at two different hotels while i was there and it was by choice only. The two big hotels in...
Pros: Excellent tour guide, inexpensive, covered all of the Egyptian highlights. Cons: Cairo is not a clean city and the vendors make buying something indesireable and difficult.
Our ten day Gate 1 Travel tour was fantastic. All of the things you've always wanted to see but have only read about or seen on the History channel. Every city on the Nile cruise was better than the last. The ...
Pros: The Giza plateau is absolutely amazing! Cons: The locals who want to take you for a camel ride are very annoying.
In July 2000 I was fortunate enough to be on a two night stop over in Cairo. Although I only had one day in Cairo, it turned out to be the most memorable part of a month long holiday.
My day started at 6am. Being on a tight budget I asked...
Pros: We got to see more of the city, including places that most people don't see Cons: I would have liked a couple more days in Cairo
At the end of two weeks of running around all around the Nile Valley, I spent one more day in Cairo. This was not enough. I had wanted to see the sights of Islamic Cairo and Coptic Cairo but had to choose one. A small group of us decided to see...
Pros: An ancient cradle of civilization with incredible antiquities. Truly a world-heritage city. Cons: Crowded, heavy traffic, dusty/smoky, need to be careful of drinking water.
My husband and I visited Cairo in June 2006 for 5 days. We arranged our trip in advance through a US-based Egyptian travel agency, who arranged a tour guide and driver with a private car. We were met at the airport and quickly taken through customs. The ...
One of the many Arabic nicknames for Cairo is "Mother of the World".
I lived in downtown Cairo for almost two years and I agree with the name completely. Cairo is a city of a thousand influences; it accepts the new without ever...
Pros: Good tourist infrastructure, sights straight out of a science fiction novel Cons: Usual third-world water, transportation, and sanitary hassles, but better than most developing countries
This is the final review in my three-part series of Egyptian destinations. I'm hoping that this blockbuster will push me above the twenty-reader mark (sigh).
The Place
Cairo. Big city in Egypt. Located roughly at the beginning...
Pros: Historical sites, friendly men, Cons: Smog, dirt, begging for tips, general chaos
I traveled to Egypt in March of 2000. I found Cairo to be fascinating like so many others. I agree with Shaikha on most the points he mentioned. I like so many people am a average tourist open to a bit of adventure. Cairo was overwhelming. I did...
Pros: Avoid the hassle from vendors and touts. See almost everything in two days. Cons: It is a whirlwind at times (or should I say a sandstorm?).
It was two o’clock in the morning. Understandably we felt disoriented and bleary eyed as we scrambled into the mini van and came face to face with two perfect strangers who were to be our travelling companions for the next few days. Our tour price ...
Pros: Exotic Culture, Pyramids, Sights Cons: Chaos, blaring car horns,
I took a tour purchased from Foreign Independent Tours out of New Jersey. We flew Egypt Air from New York's JFK International Airport to Cairo. This trip was for the first 10 days of April. I would not want to travel from May thru October because of...
Pros: Exotic, low crime rate, easy to get around, inexpensive Cons: Pollution
