Our experience in Cairo was wonderful. Everywhere we went in the city the people were friendly and helpful. They were especially happy to hear that we were Americans. Of course the street venders are obnoxious at times, but that is part of the Middle Eastern experience. If you can't deal with it, then go to Europe or stay in the US. We stayed at the Cairo/Zamalek Sheraton which was once a palace and is located on the Nile. The rooms were gorgeous, the price was great-$99.00 a night, and th ... Read Full Review | Report This

In all of my travels, Cairo is the dirtest, depressing city I every had the pleasure to experience. Most of the buildings had no roofs (its some tax thing )and squalor is everywhere. Many of the streets are unpaved and the city is full of dust, especially if its windy. On a positive note the Pyramids of Giza and the Eygptian museum were excellent (King Tut exhibit the highlight) especially since we had an experienced Eygptologist as a guide. (an absolute must). We didn't fell unsafe as we we ... Read Full Review | Report This
