best place to use as a meeting point near khan el khalili
by joenix
Hi,
where would be a good place where we could arrange to meet our taxi within a short walking distance of the khan el khalili market so he can park and wait for us to jump in to get to the airport?
we have to order a cab as we're travelling in a group of 7, and hailing a 7 seater won't be that easy.
we'll be leaving for the airport on a friday evening during ramadan - our flight leaves at 22:30, so we should get to the terminal by 21:15. what time should we allow for this?
or is the airport metro finished yet?
thank you!

I can't find the name of the square, but of you look at Google maps the entrance to khan el khalili is marked. Just adjacent to the entrance (to east) is a square. It's got a rectangle of green at it's middle. The buses and taxis use that for pick up/drop down.
Hope that helps.

If you hire a taxibus to do this trip the driver will know where to park his car in order to wait for you and he will point you to the place where he will pick you up again. No need to worry!

Travel Tips for Cairo
Getting hair done in Cairo
by racayadi
I have great kinky Puerto Rican hair... and in Zamalek found a great salon, even greater prices, plus Rashid and Samira -- she is incredible, does it all, can say thanks, sorry and that is all you need from her... she will get your hair going, your nails and treat you like a queen.... the rest of the personnel is fantastic and I paid 100 Egy pounds (less than US$20.00) for shampoo, deep conditioning, blow dry, hot iron, manicure and some moments of peace in the heart of Cairo.... can't beat that!!!

If you go to Cairo then relax...
by nsalah
If you go to Cairo then relax as you will find it so enjoyable . Try going to some of the Mosques as they are so beautiful and also the Egyptain museum your eyes will be truly amazed. It was so funny when I went inside the pyramids and I spent ages climbing up when it was so hot. When I reached the top it was an empty room! If you go to the Museum you will see the treasure of Ancient Egypt! My best memory was after you have been on the Airplane for hours and all your excitment has built up and then you step outside. Ahh Egypt air you just feel like your home, for me thats the best bit because then you have a hliday. You can escape and you know that your about to have the time of your life! The sad thing is when you next seat on an Airplane you are going to be going home and all you have is your memories which you want to make into a reality!
Fruity!
by TheLongTone
Small juice bars are everywhere in Cairo and should not be missed. They offer a variety of juices, either freshly juiced to order or in the case of out-of season fruits, made up from a sirop. My favorite, and popular with Cairenes too, is 'nus bi nus' (half and half), a mixture of orange and carrot. Another drink often to be found is made from sugar cane...as you might expect it is sweeter than sweet.
There's a system in many of them: you pay one person who then gives you a token which to hand over to the man actually responsible for producing your juice. Prices will generally be on display: generally between 1 and 5 LE ,depending on the fruit.
The cautious should disregard all the rubbish you hear about Cairo water ('and even keep sure you keep your mouth shut when showering'.....puh-lease). Yes they use tapwater. No you won't catch anything from it. It's well chlorinated. Not very nice to drink on it's own but perfectly potable.
Religion
by Sharrie
Introduce yourself to the Islamic Religion. In 969 Cairo was founded, named Al-Qahirah (The Victorious) & became the capital of Egypt & center of Islam. The city of Cairo developed rapidly since 1960s & is currently having a population of 12 million!
Men Kissing in Cairo
by Saladinos
A man kissing another man on the cheeks in the street is common cause this is the way Egyptian men greet each others. The strange thing is a man kissing a lady hi or goodbye. Some of my foreign friends asked me weather i am a gay and i was completly surprised cause i am not, they told me why do you keep kissing your men friends.
Dont fall into this trap.
