- Some of Cairo's most intriguing sights are out on its fringes. Fields of pyramids stretch along the edge of the desert from Giza. South of the centre lies the religious 'Coptic Cairo' in the old Roman fort. In Cairo the ancient and the modern coexist in parallel.

- Known in Arabic as 'al-Qahira', 'The Conqueror', Cairo is a daunting experience for the first-time visitor. This journal charts my walk through its Islamic core.

- Ancient, but new. Fascinating, but frustrating. Cairo is a city you won't soon forget!

- I began my tour of Ancient Egypt here in Cairo, where I visited the sites of the ancient capital of Memphis. I also ended my tour here visiting the area of Old Cairo.

- This is a mystical land where most of the ancient wonders once stood and the Giza Plateau still stands.

- It is really difficult to try and sum up Cairo in a few words, so I shall simply use a quote from The Thousand and One Nights: "He who has not seen Cairo has not seen the world".

- Having become interested in King Tutankhamun when I was 6, I had high hopes for this trip. I expected it to be the
thing of my dreams with colorful hieroglyphics, the Sphinx looking over the land, and King Ramses II in bejeweled splendor. And you
know what? I was right.

- First impressions of Cairo: total chaos, no traffic rules, tauts on every corner, but somehow so interesting, mysterious, and unexpected. . . The city that never sleeps. . . And the car horns beep literally every second.

- I explored Cairo extensively, so I saw the "real" Cairo as well as the more touristy side. It was an amazing trip that I will never forget.

- Islamic Cairo, one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, is the heart of Cairo. Unfortunately most visitors don't give it the attention it deserves. So come, move beyond the Pyramids, and into the mysteries of Islamic Cairo.
