About Cairo, Egypt

The thing about Cairo is that it stimulates on so many levels. Say, for example, that history's your thing; does the whole, vast scope of the subject hold any phenomenon more fascinating than the pyramids? Or, if Egyptology doesn't grab you and you just want to shop, in this city you can flash your cash in upscale department stores or make hardened street bazaar traders offers they can't refuse. The most seasoned creatures of the night will raise an approving eyebrow at the breadth – and depth – of this city's nightlife. Those with a world view will observe how religions and cultures don't clash in Cairo but co-exist respectfully. As for the vibe, the 16 million people who live here create a whole lot of energy – why not plug into it?

Cairo, Egypt Factoid
Although those with a Western attitude towards animal welfare may find sights at places such as the Souq Al Gamal camel market a little unpleasant, thanks to Dorothy Brooke, Cairo is the place to be for injured horses and mules. It was she who founded the renowned Brooke Hospital for Animals here in 1934, an organization that now tends to equine invalids across the Arab world.
