Masr...Um il Duniya

by peaceness98 - last update: Aug 11, 2004

If you're going to Egypt, don't make the mistake of staying in Cairo only. Make sure you plan a proper tour to other areas like Alexanderia, Post Said, Sharm el Shaikh

As a 15 year old I HATED Cairo- it was ok the first three nites, but too crowded and dirty for my liking.

If i go again, I'll make sure I don't stay in Egypt for more than 1 week, and take advantage of sightseeing elsewhere too.

Egypt has been a tourist destination for thousands of years- even the ancient Greeks and Romans were awed by the Pyramids

At the turn of the century, it was the center of Arabia- where all educated scholars came to learn, teach and debate at the famous salons and coffee shops that still stand

Cairo literelly translates to: The Conquerer.
