I've always dremt of visiting Egypt and the famous pyramids. I lived my dream, but for a very short time. I've spent only two days in Cairo and that is not enough time for this city of 16-20 mill. residents. The contrast between luxury and poverty is enormous and unbeliveable! From "Le Merridien Pyramids" hotel to The City of the Dead you can see that difference. But what most cities lack is what Cairo has, and that is a SOUL!
You feel unbeliveable safe in this city, because the police is everywhere. But don't get carried away!

I really loved the pyramids! So, I'll just share another pic of this sort with you.
You can see Cairo in the distance. For all of you who believe that pyramids are deep in the desert, they are not. It surprised me! But also amazed....
I've been talking to someone recently (I can't remember who was it) and that person camo to a conclusion that in a couple of hundreds of years, they will be in the centre of Cairo, for it's growing...

The traffic in Egypt in whole, and especially in Cairo, is unbeliveable. The way people drive is beyond european imagination. They will never stop for the pedestrian to cross the street unless you already are in the middle of it, and even then you must be quick! But the good thing is that police is literaly everywhere and they are willing to help if necessary.

- Pros:The mixture of ancient and modern architecture
- Cons:Overcroweded
- In a nutshell:Pyramids, Sphinx and much more than you can imagine

Hi Nina and wow what a superb page, your photos are just great, i love the one where its looking directly at the spinx from close by.
Lovely page, Nina! It was a pleasure going virtually back to this city I really love. And Maadi Hotel is worth staying in at least for the view of the Pyramids from the 7th floor. Greetings! Diana
Great tips and info! Thx for your visit to my pages...I`m always building and updating so your always welcome! TIM ":*¨`*:·~My§ticÄl~·:*.隐形的 ღ (~_~)♫♫"
Nice Cairo pages. I'm going there in 2 weeks and am really looking forward to it. Greetings from London :-)
Hi ,Nina... beeauuuutifull page , loved it.. I was in Egypt about two months ago and I know what you were talking about, it's mind boggling and just so much more than one would expect... I plan to make my own Egypt page very soon... Good work , Nina !!
Fantastic. I first noted what a polite traveler you are..bravo! Hotel and restaurant tips are excellent. Loved Khan el Khalili, papyrus shopping, info on "shisha" and, of course, the pyramids. Lighting on photos is stunning.
Ah!!! Amazing Egypt! Great pics!
Really nice page!! You seem to have grabbed the soul of Cairo!
Ciao, I have been in Cairo for 10months and I felt your same feelings...It's a beautiful city. Andrea
Wonderful page. I expecially liked your shots of the Sphinx.
