A chaotic wonderful city

by SirRichard - last update: Dec 17, 2002

Cairo is a vibrant city. Hor, chaotic, full of treasuries, stressful but quiet and calm too.
Alive, even some cemeteries are inhabited and full of life!
Great Cairo Map
Don't expect a pleasant city of boulevards and cobbled squares, chaos seems to be the only rule of this city. Most of the interesting buildings are hidden in distant neighbourhoods and is definetly not a city for relaxed romantic walks...
but its charm comes from the authenticity of people living here, its rush, traffic jams, lively streets...

Pros:"The hush and the rush"
Cons:"The hush and the rush"
In A Nutshell:"Donīt miss the MUSEUM!"
