Cairo is a strategically placed city. As we say in Arabic, it was built by a candy maker. Visiting the country of Egypt as a historical tourist means that you have to start with Cairo. The Nile and its river boat trips “Feluka”, the pyramids and the Sphinx, old Cairo “Fustat” with its pottery shops and the Egyptian museum are the main attractions to be covered. If you are looking for cultural attractions, you will find an event every single night of the week. Eating out is specially enticing and a fest for your taste buds. I just love my beautiful Cairo.

Cairo is a huge city. Depending on where you are coming from, it can be very difficult to adjust. A newcomer should be able to speak some Arabic (Egyptian dialect is better) to complete daily tasks and maintain some sense of independence. One should be very patient, as it can take time adjusting to any new city. One should also bring their favorite earplugs, as most areas in central Cairo are very loud.

Life in Cairo is not always easy, but it does have its perks. Cairo is a beautiful city with some of the best Islamic architecture and art, from mosques that are a thousand years old to the Citadel of Saladin. If you’re a fan of history and art, you’ll find a lot of places to visit and a lot to learn as well. Nothing beats a walk along the Nile Cornish while watching the sunset and breathing in the crisp, moist air.
