The Hustle & Bustle of Cairo

Cairo the Capital of Egypt ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ home to 10 million people, the Pyramids of Giza (see related post ๐Ÿ˜), a City full of History & Antiquities, as well as some of the most Caotic road traffic Iโ€™ve ever come across ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš•.

As you walk through the City the traffic is constant, as is the use if the horn, there isnโ€™t really any traffic lights or pedestrian crossings, the practice is to say โ€œInshallahโ€ raise a hand ๐Ÿ– and walk into the traffic, everyone will weave around you somehow ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ. I donโ€™t envy the drivers here especially the Taxiโ€™s ๐Ÿš–, there are constant near misses as everyone tries to get from A-B, and with a huge amount of competition the Taxiโ€™s prices are much lower than other parts of Egypt but the journeys take longer because of the traffic ๐Ÿšฅ, but donโ€™t let this scare you.

There is a huge amount to do and see in the City, Antiquities from Egypts past, The Egyptian Museum, Sultan Mosque, a huge amount of Shops and Restaurants. There are great Bus ๐Ÿš and Train ๐Ÿš‰ links in and out of the City. While here we paid a visit to Sultan Mosque ๐Ÿ•Œ and the Egyptian Museum.

There are 2 Mosques side by side as well as a newer Mosque across the road. The Architecture and Artwork of the buildings is impressive and there is a feeling of Peace and Tranquility inside them.

The Egyptian Museum is a must visit on a Trip to Cairo, itโ€™s home to the Mummies, and Sarcafaguses, and some of the treasures, all the Antiquities are due to be moved to the new Grand Museum which isnโ€™t open yet.
