Cairo
Cairo, and the area around it are considered to be the heart of Egypt,
and one may find almost every aspect of Egypt represented in the area,
including some of the most famous Pharaonic, ancient Christian and Islamic
monuments. Cairo offers an incredible selection of shopping, leisure,
culture and nightlife. Shopping ranges from the famous Khan el-Khalili
souk, (or bazaar) largely unchanged since the 14th century, to modern
air-conditioned centers displaying the latest fashions. All the bounty of
the East is here - particularly good buys are spices, perfumes, gold,
silver, carpets, brass and copperware, leatherwork, glass, ceramics and
mashrabiya. Try some of the famous street markets, like Wekala al-Balaq,
for fabrics, including Egyptian cotton, the Tentmakers Bazaar for appliqué-work,
Mohammed Ali Street for musical instruments and, although you probably
won't want to buy, the Camel Market makes a fascinating trip.
When you need a break from city life, try a round of golf on the famous
Mena House course overlooking the Pyramids, watch the horse racing at the
Gezira Club or visit the Zoo and the Botanical Gardens. Take a trip on the
Nile in a felucca or ride on horseback from the Giza Pyramids to Sakkara.
For a day trip outside Cairo visit Haraniyya village and see the beautiful
tapestries and weaving produced by local people. If you wish, you may get
away from it all at the top of the Cairo Tower, a modern 187 meter-high
tower with views of the city from all sides, topped by a revolving
restaurant.
Cairo comes alive at night, which is the best time to shop, eat
delicious Middle Eastern cuisine, or simply watch the world go by from a
pavement cafe. You can dine in a floating restaurant on the Nile, sample
an apple-flavored shisha waterpipe at a coffee-shop or see oriental
dancers and cabarets at a luxury hotel. The splendid Opera House complex
houses several galleries (including the Museum of Modern Art), restaurants
and concert halls. Listening to Arabic music under the stars, in the
open-air theater, is a magical experience. At El-Ghuriya, in the heart of
Islamic Cairo you can watch folk musicians and whirling dervish dancers.
And don't forget the most essential after-dark experience, the Sound and
Light show at the Pyramids, a dramatic fusion of light and music
recounting the story of antiquity.
Islamic Cairo is not the oldest section of Cairo, as that distinction
belongs to Old Cairo. Westerners visiting Cairo many not wish to think in
terms of Islamic here, but rather medieval. Indeed this area encompasses
the medieval history from beginning to end.
Old Cairo actually predates Cairo itself to old Babylon and the Romans.
Located here are some of the oldest Christian Churches in the World, as
well as one of the oldest Mosques.
Giza is where the Great Pyramid is located, but there is more to the
west bank of the Nile. Several important districts are located here, along
with wonderful restaurants and great shopping opportunities.
