Family Orientated Nation*

If you are wondering wether it`s a good idea to take the kids with you to Egypt or not I`d say {{{YES}}}take them,you will not find any place in the world more than Egypt to welcome your kids,even if they are as young as babies.

Many times locals helped me to change for my daughter or feeding her when I was busy having my meal,,the waitresses will take care of her,the youger ladies will cuddler her each time I use the rest rooms.

Once I was watching a movie in a theatre and my daughter was held from almost each person in my row.Truley the Egyptians are kids oriented (no wonder their population is 76.000.000).*

Hollywood of the MiddleEast!*

Most of us has read or heard or even saw the great history of this country wether to be Islamic,Coptic or the most famous Pharonic History.

But what is not very well known internationaly is that Egypt in general and specially Cairo has the largest movie industry in the Arab world.

There has not been a single visit that I have not seen a movie star or a famous singer while staying in Cairo.They are all over,,either walking in the streets of Cairo,shopping,dining with you at the same restaurant.
If you are an Arab it easily for you to recognise them,and to take pictures with them.

This picture shows my kids at a movie premier at Galaxy cinima theater,she`s called Athar Al Hakeem

Ask the locals

Here is another link to an Egyptian forum,if you were wondering about any information,you can ask it here*

Pros and Cons

Thanks for the tour of Egypt--your tips were very practical! The amusement park was interesting--I know our grandkids would love the boat ride,too! I think the attitude about time would bother me, but its the same way in the American South.

Hi, your kids look very cute! I saw your replies to others' questions in the forum. I wonder if you could advise me on some guided tours departing from Cairo down the Nile for 10 days. Any sites you know of? Thanks.
