Description
Adventurous, informative and opinionated, on everything from where to find Cairo's best restaurants to the latest discoveries from antiquity, the Rough Guide to Cairo & the Pyramids ranges from the famous Cities of the Dead to nightlife that only locals know. Getting the best deal, avoiding hassles and having fun are what this guidebook keeps in mind - so you can experience Cairo at its best. An ancient city and the greatest metropolis in the Middle East, its bazaars, museums, mosques, tombs and pyramids are covered in detail. There are clear directions on getting around, accurate maps including the complex byways of Saladin's Islamic Cairo, as well as Christian Coptic Cairo, modern Downtown Cairo, and the mind-blowing Egyptian Museum, plus excursions out of town, including to Alexandris. Well-informed listings - from authors who have been visiting the city for twenty years - reflect an inside knowledge of the city's hotels, restaurants and entertainment from shoestring to expense-account luxury. Whatever you plan to do in Cairo, the Rough Guide puts you in charge.
