Cairo Vacation Guide
Cairo's official name is Al-Qahira ("The Vanquisher"), although the name informally used by most Egyptians is "Misr" (Egyptian Arabic name for Egypt), from the original name of Egypt's first Arab capital Fustat, Misr al-Fustat, "City of the Tents."
Cairo is the capital of Egypt, and the largest city in Africa. It has a metropolitan area population of about 17,285 million people. Cairo is the sixteenth most populous metropolitan area in the world.
Old Cairo (now known as Islamic Cairo) was founded 641 CE on the banks of the Nile, near ancient Egyptian towns that have since been swallowed by the growth of the city. Today, Greater Cairo encompasses various historic towns and modern districts into one of the most populous cities in the world. A journey through Cairo is a virtual time travel: from the Pyramids, Saladin's Citadel, the Virgin Mary's Tree, the Sphinx, and ancient Heliopolis, to Al-Azhar, the Mosque of Amr ibn al-A'as, Saqqara, Coptic Cairo, Khan al Khallili market, the Hanging Church, and the Cairo Tower.
Cairo isn't a really healthy city. It is berst visited by cab. For the busses driving around aren't even allowed in most western country's. The people are nice, but try to sell you everything when you don't look egyptian. A beautifull town, that doesn't goes to sleep.
Cairo is awake 24 hours a day,
If you ge tthe chance try an egyptian pancake, really good:)

A day off to myself. "Phew!" At last. I chat to Sarah (Australia) and Pierre-Marc (Canada) some cool people staying at King Tut's too. Sarah's still suffering from what I'll refer to in my time in Egypt as Cairo Shock. Only a matter of an hour into the city and she'd had her bags …
