Egypt's number 1 international hotspot with a variety of cuisines, clubs, casinos, racetracks, and a lot more! Very close to Dahab so there's that added perk.

Neighborhoods

There is a reason why the revolution took place there. It's the center where all trade takes place and the original Cairo architecture is located. Go for a walk in the downtown area and find a hidden pub at the base of a building or on top of an old hotel for a classic taste of Cairo. Got a knackering for some authentic Egyptian food then downtown is the place to go exploring with your taste buds tagging along. Easiest way to go there is take the metro and switch tracks to go out directly smack dab in the middle of Tahrir Square.

City advice

Getting around

Metro Stations

Around the corner of the building there is a Meteo station in the middle of the square that usually costs 5 Egyptian Pounds to get a ticket and it would take you for easy passage to so many places around the city. Go to Ahram Station to be dropped off at Al Korba neighborhood for a nice day to spend.
Getting around

Ride Share Service Careem

If you need to hail for transportation taxis would not be your best bet. Communication might be difficult and the fares are not always the same. Using the app Careem would guarantee you a clean and affordable mode of transportation.
