11, Ramsis Street, Abdelmonem Riyad Sq Cairo, Egypt, 00202-25760081
Wow. Cairo is big, it's busy, and boy are there a lot of cars. With horns. And don't you know about it. It's amazing how your perspectives change- a couple of weeks back I thought Mexican drivers weren't that great. Now I realise EVERYTHING is relative! Egyptian drivers are MENTAL!! But hey, I now know that cars can fit through far, far smaller gaps than you would ever have though possible. And weaving is the name of the game, baby! My first impressions of the city weren't too positive- every...
Cairo, Egypt gail_the_whaleClaire: After a yummy dinner of stuffed pigeon at Felfela, I am also stuffed so thought I'd check in and say hello from Cairo. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible, but rambling is a definite possibility as so much has happened in the short time we've been here. This city is definitely something special. We realised that as soon as we jumped into a taxi at the aiport (expertly haggled down from 80LE ($16) to...erm... 70LE) and took a ridiculous ride into the city. 4 times I saw my life ...
Cairo, Egypt hanscottclaireAN AMAZING STAYING AT INVITATION HOTEL, DOWNTOWN IN CAIRO! WHEN I ARRIVED IN CAIRO A PERSON FROM THE HOTEL PICKED UP ME FROM THE AIRPORT. THE WEATHER WAS VERY HOT BUT THE LIMUISINE WAS AIRCONDITIONED AND VERY NICE. I WAS PRETTY TIRED BUT THE DRIVER WAS SO POLITE WITH A STRONG SENSE OF HUMOUR. THE MUSIC IN THE CAR WAS NICE AND MINUTE BY MINUTE I FORGOT ABOUT MY TIREDNESS...
CAIRO, Egypt milenaAnd then there was Cairo... In true Egyptian style, the bus to whisk me from Dahab to Cairo left late and arrived even later. By the time I arrived, checked my email, and ate some belated dinner, it was already closing on 3 am, leaving me with only two days to see Cairo. The streets in Cairo are insane. There are buses, pedestrians, taxis, and cars all battling with one another for the privilege to move, and lanes, signs, indicators, personal safety, and really traffic rules of any sort don't...

... right at me as I originally thought, he was driving right at where I was supposed to have just been. If I stood there like a deer in headlights, I would have ended up with, at best an Arabic cab driver scolding, and at worst a few bumps and bruises. Judging from results, it actually is a pretty safe and efficient system. It's amazing how safety can actually improve when you take away the assumed sense ...
Cairo, Egypt biruvia... out into a large open room. It was hotter in there then anywhere else but at least it was more open. The only thing in there was an open tomb. I was hoping for some information, pictures or artifacts. But even without that, it was amazing. There were a few other people in there taking pictures, so I put our other battery in the camera and took a few shots. Some locals kids came in when we were in there and really wanted to get their picture taken with Brian - probably ...

... Holey Balls. It was a great afternoon of playing wiffle ball and hanging out with other teachers and crushing children's dreams. The Dirty Pirate Hookers ended up losing to the Wilson-Lee team because a Pirate Hooker decided to show compassion to a child and let them get to second! SHOW NO COMPASSION! :)
Highlight of the game was a 3 year old little boy who played wiffle ball. I was back catching and dad had to help him hit the ball ...
IN THE BEGINNING
Well, the only way to start is the beginning and the Etihad flight would be a good way. First time to the middle east and the Abu Dhabi was a 12 hours stopover. Did not fancy staying at the airport staring into space or sleeping like a refugee so decided to spend a little and booked a transit hotel. Expensive i.e US$170/room for less than 12 hours but it was worth every penny because flying in tired and in a cramped ...
