Exciting Places: Cairo, capital of Egypt

Cairo is a huge city, with 20 million people in its metropolitan area. The weather there is very warm - hardly bearable, especially in summer. Streets are dangerous, it is not recommended to wander alone, especially for a foreign looking person. It is hardly possible to walk a few meters without having dozens of people trying to sell you something, and therefore quite complicated to enjoy the atmosphere.
