Cairo was a special 3-day stop for me on my route between Johannesburg and Munich in 1996. To see the pyramids with ones own eyes makes the world seem a smaller place.
At the base
Cairo is the cultural and also geographical center of the globe! Here east meets west and north meets south. As a modern city, it has its own beautifull meening and way of life
Favourite spots:
On the top of the world with new friends.
The Nile, the pyramids and Sphinx, the markets and the tower on a island on the Nile.
What's really great:
Dancing on the Nile
A romantic evening with dinner and dance on one of many available boats is highly recommended.
Accommodations:
many cheap hotels
Hangouts:
(only in hotels)
Restaurants:
Fore local food, everywhere!
Other recommendations:
Makes Liberty shy!
Valley of Kings, many other pyramids. The lying statue of Remisis II is increadible!
Hey Rudi, I haven't been to Cairo and would love to go there one day. I want to just stand and amaze myself at the pyramids. I heard the Nile River is simply gorgeous too..How I wish I could get there one day,ride a camel and watch the stars above...Nice report you have there! -Ardelia-
