Cairo on my own...sort of
I'll be in Cairo in March. I am travelling by myself (w/o husband or friends), but with a tour group. I am interested in doing things on my own in the evening, such as shopping at the Khan bazaar. Will I have alot of trouble if I go alone?

You should be perfectly fine. Just remember when in Cairo, to dress appropriately... no shorts or tank tops. Arms and legs should be covered. Evenings will be cool, so have a jacket or shawl.
The bazaar is busy in the evenings, especialy restaurants; many shops are open, but avoid any streets/alleys that have no people or shop lights, which is plain common sense.
You can use taxi from hotel to/from bazaar. Some feel the drivers are a bit wild... and they might appear to be; we didn't find this to be the case. But then we live in NYC
