Cairo

Where we stayed - Sara Inn Hostel

Several people we'd come across during our time in Egypt warned us to be prepared for Cairo. They told us their horror stories of the city, stating it was really polluted and the touts were super pushy, Alain and I however really enjoyed Cairo, we took an instantly liking to it. Yes, it is pretty grotty and the air quality is really poor, but Cairo is still charming nonetheless.


Obviously, we took a trip out to the beautiful grand old pyramids... They're amazing and should be on every ones 'must see' list.


No trip to Egypt would be complete without a visit to the Egyptian Museum. This place is literally overflowing with ancient relics and the collection is pretty astonishing actually. By far the most interesting displays were the Royal Mummies and Tutankhamen's burial mask, coffins and the loot from his tomb.
