Visit Cairo
When one hears the word ‘Cairo’, one immediately thinks pyramids, mummies, camels and a whole lot of sand. While this is true, Cairo has so much more to offer than these antiquities. With its countless bazaars, wide range of Middle Eastern cuisine, and beautiful mosques, Cairo is a place where a myriad of discoveries can be made.
As the Lonely Planet guide says: “it is where the ancient and modern mix furiously.” And the mixing sure is furious. When visitors first arrive in the city, the first thing that they should be struck with is the hustle, bustle and erratic madness of the city. The best way for visitors to explore this fantastic chaos is to jump in a cab. By Western standards, taxis in Cairo are relatively cheap and get travellers from A to B without the crush of public transport.

| Shopping Cairo
One thing that has been seen in this city in the recent years is the influx of shopping centres like the Ramses Hilton Mall. There are also a plethora of night clubs and places to party in this city.
But for more traditional shopping, there is an Egypt Crafts Centre that sells fair trade items to generate income for Egyptians. It is a place where arts and crafts, Bedouin rugs, traditional embroidery, and hand-made paper are sold in a competitive market. It is just one of the more organised bazaars that are spotted around the city. |
