It's huge! It's noisy, dirty, polluted. But it's like no place you've ever been to before. You'll love it or hate it, its that extreme. Rarely have I heard a middle-of-the road reaction to Cairo.
An incredible 16 million people live here. It has history pouring out of every corner - the Pharoahs, the early Christians, the Moslems, the Crusaders, the the the... It is a city teeming with life - it certainly ain't been prettified for tourism. No fancy boulevards, no huge open plazas providing open views for cameras and digital videos. It's a living city - the old city simply has no room to cater for picture-postcard vistas. And with so many people, every sense is assaulted - the noise, the crowds, the smells, the sights. |

We were blown away with Cairos pollution and crowds also but, agree, no where else like it. We loved the food though! Your photography is brilliant! Homer | gilabrand Wed May 9, 2007 13:38 UTC
One day I hope to get to Cairo. I was checking out the airfare recently for this 1 hour trip and it is incredibly high... | MM212 Tue May 1, 2007 18:07 UTC
Great Cairo page, with excellent photographs. Very interesting seeing Cairo of 7 years ago. I just returned and Ibn Tulun and it surroundings have been cleaned up. Cheers! | trafolino Wed Sep 20, 2006 23:10 UTC
