But as long as you’re not looking for solitude, Cairo—the City of the Thousand Minarets—is a splendid place to explore Egyptian history and culture. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

The place has a taste that u’ll never find in any Arabic market/ Souq, the shops, souvenirs, bazars food, cafes, silver & gold, textiles, costumes, music...everything is beyond imagination. If u’ll go u must have a drink in El Fishawy cafe & enjoy the oriental music there, do Henna drawings (like tattoos), have a lunch or dinner at Nageeb Mahfouz or Farahat restaurant or restaurants just before the The gate to Khan Elkhalili area. Also a big recommendation for silver shop Mohamed Ameen (very famous there), have a walk by the Khan Elkhalili & El Moez street where mosques & building 700 years old with magnificent lightings. Enjoy prayers at El Hussein Mosque, also the show wekalet elghoory can’t be missed if u’r going on Wednesdays (I think Mondays as well, check the schedule before u go). In front of it Al Azhar park where some restaurants & greenery area with corridors to have a nice walk. There is Al Azhar park garage to park ur car, just 5 min. Walk to Khan El Khalili, & there is are toilets at the Gas station just in front of the garage.
