What is Cairo
Cairo is the capital of Egypt and, with a total population in excess of 16 million people, one of the largest cities in both Africa and the Middle East (which regions it conveniently straddles) - it is also the 13th largest city in the world. Situated on the River Nile, Cairo is famous for its own history - preserved in the fabulous medieval Islamic city and in Old Cairo - and for the ancient, Pharaonic history of the country it represents. No trip to Cairo would be complete, for example, without a visit to the Giza Pyramids, to nearby Saqqara, or to the Egyptian Museum in the center of town. Though firmly attached to the past, Cairo is also home to a vibrant modern society.

About Cairo

When you move around in the street of Cairo in the evening, move fast and avoid confrontation with native people. If possible, don't do it at all in the evenings, or at least, do it in a group. Tourists have had to face this sad fact in many occasions.

I hope you don't mind the car horn honking. Nonstop.

I loved the Shepheard Hotel, where Napoleon stayed. Very old and ornate and the food was excellent.
