Cairo is recognized as one of the world's largest megacities. Without a doubt, the city is both lovely and insane. It is sumptuous in ancient finery despite half of it being destroyed and showing no signs of repair. Perhaps this explains why Cairo is a city that travelers love and despise in equal measure.
The light pollution, noise, and massive traffic are an assault on your senses, yet look past the present unrest, and you'll uncover a history that dates back millennia. Cairo, full of energy and vibrancy, is one place where you can genuinely experience Egyptian street life. No vacation to Egypt...
