regional info

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.

As you fly into to Cairo, Egypt you will be left speechless as you look out the window and see the contrast of the setting. Out of one side of the plane, you will see the vast arid desert which seems to be never ending; out of the other side is a busy city which looks like a modern day oasis. Travelers from all over the world have been marveling at Egypt 's wondrous antiquities for thousands of years. Although these antiquities still exist today, a visit to Cairo , Egypt is more than an immersion into the past, as it also encompasses many modern day amenities which anyone will be sure to enjoy.

Just walking around downtown and in the older residential parts inside the wall of the city where craftsmen work on the sidewalks outside their homes is also a real pleasure. It is easy to meet real Cairenes that are eager to discuss anything with you. Some of them try to lure you into their carpet shops; others are really interested and interesting to talk with.

If you are hungry, make sure to try the most popular Egyptian dish, Koshray. Koshray is a traditional Egyptian meal that consists of a delectable combination of macaroni, spaghetti, rice, black lentils, chick peas, garlic sauce and a spicy tomato chili sauce, all topped with fried onions.

A visit to the pyramids and the Sphinx is a must, since these icons are landmarks of the country's fascinating history. Beware, however, of the aggressive friendliness of Egyptian camel drivers and policemen, who may try to earn a few Egyptian pounds from you (they call it bahshis, or a tip) for small favors; to avoid this, simply ask another friendly tourist to take your picture, instead of one of the locals. While in the city make sure you visit the museum first before going to see pyramids, as it will help you appreciate the culture of ancient Egypt even more. It is advised not to make the pyramid visits on Fridays, due to mass at noon time 12pm-1pm, during which time the pyramids are closed.
