Experience Cairo with George 🏺

If you want to learn how to ‘Walk like an Egyptain’ and get to know downtown Cairo, the best teacher and guide is my friend George, a really generous Egyptian with his heart in the right place who passionately presents his city in excellent English.

(Re-)discovering or (re-)experiencing Tahrir Square, the beating heart of Cairo, is a must on every visit to the Egyptian capital. Just crossing the streets is a real adventure, preferably with Walk like an Egyptain by the Bangles in your ears.

Around Tahrir you will experience the pure attitude to life of the Egyptians, who drink their tea in the side streets in the evening and enjoy the end of the day. You should definitely try Koshari, the national dish. And best of all in the most famous restaurant in Cairo that is tucked away near Tahrir. You can find a great Koshari recipe here.

It is advisable to look for accommodation close to Tahrir. My first choice is Cleopatra Hotel, which is ideally located for exploring downtown Cairo by foot. You will be surprised how westernized Egypt is here.

If you want me to put you in contact with George or if you need more information to experience downtown Cairo by yourself, just contact me.
