"Traffic in Cairo is sheer..." Traffic Tip by hayward68

Traffic, Cairo: 9 reviews and 4 photos

 
 

Traffic in Cairo is sheer chaos and probably only understood by native Egyptians. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason how they drive and they use their horns to excess. They are able to fit their cars into the tiniest spaces and park in the most unbelievable ways. They also don't use their lights at night! Crossing the street is an adventure in itself. Best advice is to follow a local, you'll soon understand how to dodge the traffic. I was quite proud at my adeptness at this after only my 2nd day in Cairo.

Review Helpfulness: 1.5 out of 5 stars
