Cairo Inns - Reviews and Rates

Don't yawn -- that's actually the subject I'm delving into for my POLS 405 class here at AUC. Let me lay it out below, from my paper description:

"The strong relationship between the USA and Israel has many facets. But I believe the case can be made that US support for Israel
is partially based on the belief that an Israeli state has a...

From Taba at the border with Israel, I met up with a guy from Argentina and an American woman to share a mini bus back to Dahab. This was actually quite fortunate as the American woman spoke a Bedouin dialect of Arabic and brokered us a good deal on the bus. We stopped briefly at Taba Castle and then drove the two hours back down to Dahab. This...

An early start - we got picked up in the bus with Ahmed at 8am. Drove to the Citadel which is one of the highest spots in Cairo. The fortress walls enclose several museums - we went inside the Military Museum, as well as several mosques, we went inside Mohammed Ali (no, not the fighter) Mosque and 1 other. M.A mosque is magnificent, white alabas...

İn 2006 there were over 16 million people in Çairo alone. The Çity goes on forever. The streets are that of most 3rd world countries with the constant beeping of horns and old worn pavement. High priced cars and donkey drawn wagons mix into the sea of half broken Taxi's. Today I entered the Great Pyramýd of Giza. I crawled up a narrow passa...

Spending the day in cairo, possibly going on a camel ride.

So we are back from Egypt. After 10 days of traveling around a land we didn't know...we are back to Athens for a few days. We went to the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, tons of temples in Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and so many other cities that I know you have never heard of. I took soo many pictures, but not near as many as some other people...Ann...

Hi all from Egypt - home to the oldest of old known civilisations and today's largest and most prosperous African state. I've escaped the frigid winter of higher latitude northern Europe and whisked my way down here to start the second phase of my overland journey to London. How did I do this you ask? I would like to say by teleportation machine...

December 23, 2005: On our last day on the Nile River I thought it would be a good idea to send message in a bottle. I've wanted to do that ever since I saw that movie with Kevin Costner. So I wrote a little note and sealed it inside an empty wine bottle and, with Anita by my side, I threw it overboard the M/S River Anuket to float northward (as ...

This morning we went and saw the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, which is the oldest mosque in Cairo (approx 1200 years old). Although it is no longer a functioning mosque, it is a very popular place to visit here in Cairo. Since they no longer hold services there, we were not required to wear our head scarves. However, we were required to take our shoes o...

Want the good news or the bad? Good news the pyramids/sphinx FANTASTIC!! Bad Cairo is the dirtiest place we have seen (and we bin around baby)went for a walk and ended up on the wrong side of town. Well, normally I laugh and scoff at people who go to Bali and never leave the hotel to eat. Got to tell ya thats exactly what we did in Cairo. Stayin...
