Giza Square, Ashraf & Stable Owner

by freya_heaven

Send Photo to a Friend

Restaurant Name: Giza Stable

We were invited by the stable owner at Giza to join him and all the stable workers for lunch.

Not wanting to offend we accepted & all sat on the floor above the Stable block eating out of a large bowl in the middle of us with our fingers. Flies everywhere!

We just hoped all hands were washed after clearing out the stables before lunch!

Helen & I were actually expecting to be ill later that day because of the lunch, but suprisingly & Thankfully were not.!

Very generous of them though

Revolving Restaurant Views

by freya_heaven

Send Photo to a Friend

Restaurant Name: Revolving Restaurant

On top of the 185 meter Cairo is a revolving restaurant and cafe.

Panoramic views over Cairo, whilst having a drink or a meal is a must if you have the time when you are in Cairo. On a clear day the Pyramids at Giza nearly 20km away can be seen

The restaurant is quite pricy, so a cheaper option is the cafe and you still get the views.

Sharia at Tahrir Street,

by freya_heaven

Send Photo to a Friend

Restaurant Name: El Tahir

We usually went to El Tahrir on an evening to eat, it is a Kusherie cafe. Kusherie consists of fried onions, lentils, rice and noodles all cooked together, presumably fried.

It is very much a locals place to eat and the staff made us very welcome

It is so cheap, a huge bowl for about 2 -3 Egyption pounds. An ideal Backpackers Fayre (~_~)

Favorite Dish: Kusherie!

Aig Sat Nov 10, 2007 16:36 UTC Pyramids is a wonder ... but "social" environment around is a disaster ... crooks, vendors, "guides" etc.	hunterV Thu May 10, 2007 19:48 UTC Hello, Nicola! What an amazing place! You've been lucky to be there!
