Cairo, Egypt

We just arrived back in Edinburgh after a cool week with Stephanie in Cairo.
We stayed at the Marriott in Cairo, which turned out to be a great idea as, although the city has numerous amazing touristic sites, you can certainly tell that 18m people live there as it smoggy, dirty and busy.
We arranged a guide to take us around the Pyramids in Giza, which was nice, however, she was not particularly informative or lively. That said; wow! the Pyramids certainly are a wonder of the world and a magnificent feat for the Egyptians.
We didn't arrange a guide for the museum or the citadel and had good trips at a fraction of the expense and organized a friendly taxi driver we met to take us to Alexandria for the day, which was a great day out.
Generally we found the Egyptians to be quite pushy and one taxi driver ripped us off, however, we did find one or two freindly faces and some very good food in the Nile river boat restaurants.
It was great to spend a week with Steph in the sun and we arrived back to a sunny Edinburgh - would you believe it!?!
