Cairo is a huge city. Smoggy, loud, and busy. Very nice traffic signs and paint on the roads but have no idea why! just for looks probably cause no one pays attention to them!
Favourite spots:
Museum, Giza, Zoo, Khan el Kabir(sp) cafe along the Nile
What's really great:
I enjoyed riding the metro to the poorer area of Cairo(about 45min ride)there was a rain storm and all of the roads were literally turned to mud. Little trucks were going up and down the streets picking up people. The locals I was with were so afraid that I would get my feet dirty they insisted I stay on a high step, they looked so worried that I lightened the mood by starting a mud fight.
Sights:
Cairo Tower,giza, museum, stroll the nile, Citadel of salah al-din
