Chitra commented on an entry by lilblackgirl titled "I am headed to Egypt with my boyfriend for my 30th bday!! We will be in Cairo, Aswan and Luxor with a Nile Cruise mixed in. What are your can't miss attractions in these areas??" regarding Egypt:

a few more ideas:

- a felucca (boat-ride) along the Nile, if you take it from opposite the Meridien in downtown, or in Maadi it would cost about 40LE per hour. Bargain it!! They will ask for more.

- Coptic Cairo (where there’s also the Ben Ezra synagogue and many many churches).

- Islamic Cairo:

  • a visit to the Khan el Khalili (tourist) bazaar, where they also have Sufi dancing I believe on Mondays and Tuesdays.
  • Azhar Park and the Citadel

For local flavour, try Kushari Tahrir (famous eatery for the local dish Kushari, but might not be good for sensitive stomach).
