Cairo THE MAD CITY

Starting In Cairo..!?

Well here we go.
Starting in Cairo?? where to go?? where to stay?? what is the tips?? is there any dangerous for me to walk alone??

I see many question in your eye but let me specify it,its easy:)

1-Where to go??
-First you should know that Cairo and Giza are merged togather in a one big city.
from this point let me discuss where to go and what to take to ease your trip

1-Pyramids.!
Sure the 1st thing to go and visit in Egypt is the Pyramids.,the 3 big ones and the small 6 ones,Sphinx too is one of the best things you will ever see.
never miss riding a camel or running over a horse in the desert but be aware IT HURTS.

Tips:
1- Never buy something from the walkers buy its real price divide the number they say over /3 and then take it with the number resulted.

2- Never buy papyrus from there because it is 100 times multiple the real price "believe me" and be aware that the camel driver will take you to a one as he takes commission tell him NO I DONT WANT I ALREADY BOUGHT" and I will disucss with you how to and from where to buy the best papyrus.

3-Riding a camel costs me 35 pounds "egyptian price" well so sure the camel owner will ask you to pay 200 or 300 pounds I think 75EGP is fair enough as you are a tourist.
if he is insisting for the money through the money and go away because he will never stop.!

How to go?

1-From Ramsis take air conditioned bus number 690.

2-From Tahrir take anything going to Haram.

4-If a taxi depends from where you took it,but its about 10-15L.E from the middle of the city to the pyramids.

I will discuss more in tips and must see activities pages.
DO READ IT

Have fun.
