A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Cairo, Egypt by TravelPod blogger Elizacass. See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com Welcome to Cairo ! Wheres my Baksheesh...? "We got so freakin lost again today...this city is sooo confusing ! With all its small alleys and streets that seems to always be crossing one another, in fact, every time Mo and I have left our hotel , we have gotten lost at least once. I know that getting lost can be fun, adventures, but not when you are tired, hot, dirty, and really over it. We started out great...took a cab to old Islamic Cairo to see a really old part of city, and wandered down beautiful old streets and buildings which lead us to famous Market called Khan El Khalili, which sells lots of souvenirs and belly dancing costumes...( don’t laugh , Mo almost bought one...) and lots of things that you just cant live without after visiting Cairo, like those dancing stuffed camels ( kind of like the fish that sings , that you get home and you end up leaving in the garage because its so darn annoying) Nadine from our hotel said that the market is a tourist trap and everything there is made in China...we had fun walking around and bought nothing but some Almonds from Iran, and had a Turkish coffee at the famous Fishawis Coffee house. I think I have met my match when it comes to this Turkish coffee...why have I not discovered this stuff earlier? Its like the strongest espresso in a small cup, so strong that the bottom is full ...
