Synopsis "Sheila's Guide to Cairo (in English)"
If this is your first trip to Cairo, you'll visit the Pyramids. If this is your second, third or even fourth trip to Cairo (lucky you), you'll visit the Pyramids. No matter what travelogue, television program or movie you have seen featuring the awe-inspiring Pyramids, it is only while standing next to a humungous stone block that its immensity will sink in. Tour operators literally run clients through the Giza Pyramid Sights, Coptic Cairo, Egyptian Museum, Citadel, Mosques, Bazaar and other sites in one brief day. It's no wonder tourists are left with just enough energy to fall into bed with brain spinning like a gerbil wheel. Cairo is a city that gets short shrift with much to see and worth a repeat visit. This Guide to Cairo will give brief information about iconic sights, omitting facts easily found on the Internet. Learn how to navigate the Cairo airport; what to miss (not everything is perfect); and suggest rarely visited options for those with more time or who are paying a return visit. Let Travels With Sheila teach you how to Travel the World on a Budget, share exotic locations known only to locals, and most importantly, ease your fears about languages, currencies, personal safety and staying healthy.
