First Impressions of Egypt's sprawling capital, Cairo E G

Cairo, with its frenetic traffic and sheer size can be bewildering to many visitors. And that’s a shame because for those who understand that some of the best travel experiences are born of challenge and inconvenience, Cairo is much more than just a place to land on one’s way to the nearby pyramids at Giza.
As you’ll see in the video uploaded to my KZfaq channel, I’m staying in the heart of the city, a few blocks east of Tahrir Square, where-like any great world city-there’s always something to grab your attention and where the daily spectacle of life is seldom dull.
There’s much to learn about Egypt (including quite a bit that may surprise you) from merely walking Cairo's streets. And there’s a full menu of exciting places to visit, including the famous bazaar of Khan el-Khalili, the Citadel of Saladin, the venerable Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the new (since 2023) Grand Egyptian Museum on the outskirts of the city.

Amazing city and wonderful people! Peace be upon you, Ron!❤ That coffee looked STRONG! It was very generous of you to emphasize the safety aspect of an American walking those streets. Your country is supplying the weapons of a horrific Genocide taking place "next door," but the population doesn't hold you personally responsible. What wonderful people!

Thanks Jack. Pleasant hospitable people at every turn in Egypt. If only fake and false information didn't pervade society in this Misinformation Age!

My son (19) and I just got back from Egypt. Father son trip. Wow.... amazing place. People are really having a rough time, especially with the EGP at 50 to one dollar. Great food, nice people, insane history. but... traffic is insane, constant people trying to sell you stuff... non-stop.. that aspect became a real put-off but I get it... No issues with crime, tons of police everywhere and so cheap to visit once you absorb the airfare. I would say it's a great and fascinating place to visit. 3 days in Cairo, 3 days in Luxor, maybe hit Alexandria for a day. nice video ! thanks :) The war has decimated tourism which makes it easy to visit the main tourist sites.

Hey, so glad you and your son had a great time. You're so right about how the war has done a number on tourism across the entire Middle East. I feel for the folks who depend on tourism, even the touts that drive one crazy. They're people doing what they have to do to survive. Glad you're enjoying the videos.

Do you prefer Cairo or Alexandria?

@OUTBOUNDWITHRON 19 күн бұрын

Hi Vivid. It depends. They're very different. I think of them as different flavors. One I might prefer one day; the other the next.

@@Vivid_200s I honestly can't say. I enjoyed them both. Are you trying to decide which of the two to visit assuming that you can only visit one? If so, I recommend Cairo (especially if you've never been there) only because Cairo is so essential to an experience in Egypt, it being THE major city of the country.
