A review of this place: It's nice and warm — 4 months ago
In Cairo, you can live cheaply or live very cheaply.
The language is Arabic, the dialect is Egyptian. In Cairo, many people can manage a few English words, and few are fluent in English.
It’s not a pure Arab experience, it has had so many identities and influences in the past that it feels quite “hybrid” in Cairo. This is not surprising, since Cairo is one of Africa’s largest and most populated cities.
The people are incredibly beautiful, the energy palpable.
Tradition lives side by side aspiration.
Almost everybody smokes, I assume lung cancer is common.
Ah yes, the tourism. It’s good.
