Advantages: See the wonders of the ancient world Disadvantages: Cairo is a very busy and noisy city.

CAIRO
We arrived in Cairo after a five hour flight and while I was busy dying (I am a poor ... ...my worst nightmare drive in Cairo, the traffic chaos from taxi level (not bus level where there is a greater view of an accident waiting to happen) seems organised. The horns are used instead of indicators - which believe me are of no use (if they even work) as they drive so closely together.

Advantages: The pyramids, sphinx and museum Disadvantages: The pollution and the amount of traders and con artists.
...way of seeing things in cairo, especially if you are only there for a short time. I personally wouldn't have liked to spend any longer in cairo.

I was heading to the airport, which, i might add was a disaster from the start.

All i can say, ... ...would have closed an i would have been stranded. On arrival a somewhatnondiscript man grabbed my bags from my hands (at first i thought i was being mugged) but then discovered i was in fact being pushed to the front of a huge queue of people being x-rayed before check in.
