I Love NYC and CAI both, so knock it off! Or I am going to have to take out my "9" and bust a few caps.

We can all find bad things to say about anywhere we travel or live but we should not do so ignorantly.

Mike22 ... I travelled Egypt (Cairo,Luxor,Sinai) independently and had a great time! You can read about it with pictures at:

I recommend Hotel Longchamps and lunch at Abou El Sid which is nearby.

You will enjoy Egypt!

Hey DMBTraveler - RELAX (and for God's sake, don't hurt us )- I don't think we are "ignorant", we (at least I am) kidding around. I think we both know both cities have their ups and downs - good and bad. I just don't want people like jam0267, who posted <<Cairo is filthy, the traffic is horrendous, and everyone wearing a suit coat is packing a huge gun. >> to not have someone disagree with that statement.

DMB Traveller - thanks so much for the link to your website - great pictures and stories. thanks!

Mike22,

You are welcomed! I hope you have as much fun as I did there. Just watchout for the "Overpriced, Overpaid Horse And Possibly Camel Show" at the Pyramids!
