Cairo, Egypt

Slightly disappointed I didn't see Indiana Jones frolicking through the streets in pursuit of ancient treasure, Cairo is certainly not a city to be disappointed by. Women traveling alone may want to come up with a strategy, otherwise the city has culture, trendy restaurants, atmospheric ahwas (coffee/sheesha houses) and miles and miles of markets. Mike and I literally became lost in the city market. Too exhausted to make our final destination we parked at an ahwa, sipped lemonade to recover from the heat, and retreated back for an afternoon nap. Poor us.

Satellite dishes seem to be a part of every rooftop almost everywhere.
