A day in Cairo:
Cairo offers an incredible selection of shopping, leisure, culture and nightlife. Shopping ranges from the famous Khan El-Khalili Souk, 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 Wekalet Al-Balah, 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 Saqqara. 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.

Giza is where the Great Pyramids are 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.
Giza is more then the Pyramids and the Sphinx, and more even then the other Pharaonic monuments around them. Cairo University, which is Egypt's largest university, is here. Also the Giza Zoo,
Taking Sharia Al-Haram, or Pyramids Rd, which starts just south of Midan Giza (one usually hires a cab for this), the road winds a little over 6 miles out to the Giza plateau where the Sphinx and great Giza pyramids reside. The road is notorious for its nightclubs and casinos, but there is probably better entertainment in town..

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.
Although old Cairo has many fine examples of Arab architecture, most of it is a slum of crumbling mud-brick tenements. Many streets are narrow and unpaved.

From the Place Ezbekieh, Muski Street runs eastward into the oldest section. On Muski is Cairo's most famous bazaar, where one can buy almost anything. Narrow alleys are lined with tiny shops that are open to the street. In the shops craftsmen sit cross-legged, tooling leather, weaving rugs, or working metal. Passersby are besieged by peddlers selling sweets and souvenirs and by beggars--the crippled, the blind, and the very poor.
