Cairo City Break

Cairo is a city of dreams. It is hot, hot headed and frenetic with bustle, bazaars and traffic chaos; and yet its ancient edifices stand ennobled. It has everything you could want from an ancient city. Then there are those labyrinths. Those ancient narrow, bustling streets with quiet corners. Here people drink tea, smoke nargileh pipes and watch the world — and Cairo’s ever-buzzing bazaars.
