Chaotic Cairo


First impression of Egypt may not be too good if you land in Cairo. You will be welcomed by horrendous traffic and the sound of horns as vehicles, many of vintage 60s, fight for space on overcrowded roads.

The sidewalks and streets are also dusty and full of people. The atmosphere is definitely chaotic! You will also get scared crossing streets because drivers have no respect for pedestrians. You need a certain amount of alertness and daring to be able to safely cross the streets.

But nevertheless, you can not help but like Cairo as you are exposed to its many old french inspired buildings, and the fact that this exotic city is home to many historical sights and museums that houses priceless artifacts and treasures.
