Pros: Avoid the hassle from vendors and touts. See almost everything in two days. Cons: It is a whirlwind at times (or should I say a sandstorm?).
It was two o’clock in the morning. Understandably we felt disoriented and bleary eyed as we scrambled into the mini van and came face to face with two perfect strangers who were to be our travelling companions for the next few days. Our tour price ...
Pros: a vibrant bustling colour full city, rich in heritage Cons: noise, dirty and often smelly
How can I attempt to sum up the unique qualities of a city like Cairo within the confines of a short review? Well the answer is I can't, not to the degree that I would like, but if this brief snap shot gives you some idea of the glorious diversity of ...
Pros: the history (pyramids, museum,etc) Cons: can be unsafe, a lot of poverty, very very hot in the summer
I'm sure nearly everyone in the world has learned about ancient Egypt at one point or another. Though it was never quite as powerful as the Roman or British empires it was always very interesting to all. From the mummies to the pyramids to the desert...
Pros: The Pyramids, The People, The glimpse into an ancient civilization Cons: Poverty, Dirt, Security issues
I love Ancient Egypt. That is what brought me to Cairo. I always wanted to see the pyramids. Cairo is an amazing city. If you have a fascination with ancient Egypt, you will find scenes in and around Cairo that are like photographs right out of your...
Pros: The Giza plateau is absolutely amazing! Cons: The locals who want to take you for a camel ride are very annoying.
In July 2000 I was fortunate enough to be on a two night stop over in Cairo. Although I only had one day in Cairo, it turned out to be the most memorable part of a month long holiday.
My day started at 6am. Being on a tight budget I asked...
When you first step into the airport from the plane you get an idea of the chaos that is Cairo. There are mobs of people at the exchange places and outside offering taxi service and of course the people arriving from the flights. I had arranged ...
Pros: interesting, historical, safe Cons: so hott in summer!
Egypt, for all its problems, remains one of the great wonders of the world. The famed Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and other monuments of the 5,000-year-old culture are just a taxi ride from downtown Cairo.
Pros: We got to see more of the city, including places that most people don't see Cons: I would have liked a couple more days in Cairo
At the end of two weeks of running around all around the Nile Valley, I spent one more day in Cairo. This was not enough. I had wanted to see the sights of Islamic Cairo and Coptic Cairo but had to choose one. A small group of us decided to see...
Pros: friendly people, amazing cultural sites Cons: chaos, in shah allah, smoke, frightening driving habits
As much as its history and architecture have always
fascinated me, I never wanted to go to Cairo. Call me
bland, call me white bread--and call me concerned
when, shortly before my trip, a number of Western tourists
were killed at the...
Pros: It's a lot of fun to shop and things can be cheap Cons: You have to be careful about paying way to much for being an American
This may sound simple, but trust me it isn't. I lived in Cairo for a couple of months and visited other places in Egypt. There are people trying to rip you off everywhere...especially if they know you're an American.
Pros: A unique exhibition Cons: Not the best organization, overcrowded
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
The tour operator's bus (for that time I joined my group although I prefer exploring the destinations I go to on my own) brought us to the Sadat Square named so after the president Anwar...
Pros: Exotic Culture, Pyramids, Sights Cons: Chaos, blaring car horns,
I took a tour purchased from Foreign Independent Tours out of New Jersey. We flew Egypt Air from New York's JFK International Airport to Cairo. This trip was for the first 10 days of April. I would not want to travel from May thru October because of...
