What to do and see in Cairo, Cairo Governorate: The Best Classes & Workshops
Cairo’s an ancient city that also happens to be a modern metropolis—it’s one of the biggest cities in the Middle East and has the traffic and noise issues to prove it. 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.)

As part of travelling to the different parts of the world my wife and I like to try and experience the local foods and what better way to do it than to take cooking classes. We did just that in Cairo Egypt. We were very fortunate to have our Cairo class at “The House of Cooking”. With the expert guidance of Chef Anhar and her daughter Mona we made some fabulous dishes, had some great conversations and shared experiences of our different cultures. Before we attended the class we were given 4 choices of dishes that we wanted to make and when we got there it was all ready to go for us after the introductions. We choose, Rokak with Grind meat, cheese samosa’s and cucumber & yogurt salad. Another dish was pre-prepare to complement our own cooking and was already to eat. If you are looking something like this when travelling to Cairo I can not recommend this any higher.

Semiramis Spa is a grand place to get a massage in Cairo, Egypt. It is, unequivocally a refuge from this intense and, at times, overwhelming city. One starts in the relaxation room where the “massagee” (one who get the massage) gets to rest and look at a lovely garden usually bathed in sunlight. Then the masseuse arrives and calls to the person getting the one who will be massaged into a massage room... lovely and light perfumes and scents of Sandalwood and flowers are burned all over the spa giving a wonderful ambiance to the pre-massage. And then the massage! Amazing. For between 55 and 85 min the highly trained and experience masseuse works on whatever you need her to work on. You moderate and decide how hard or soft of a massage you want. The room smells wonderful. The scented oil is heated and great! And after? After you are like a new person, ready for the rest of the day. After the one who was just massaged sits in a new room covered in towels and rests for another hour, possibly going into a full steam room, sauna or Jacuzzi. I have not seen another place as good as this in all of Cairo! Go and enjoy! :)
