Re: planning a special trip to Cairo but where to go?

The Naguib Mahfouz cafe is my favorite! But there are so many good restaurants there in Cairo. I like to hang out at the Jazz club with friends, it is in Zamalek I believe. Ask Egyptians and go with them to the good clubs, they know where to go. I just close my eyes and let them take me wherever, and I am never dissapointed. A good friend of mine takes me up to this area near the citadel at night to smoke shisha and look at the view of Cairo, sorry I don't know the name of it, but again the Egyptians will know what I am talking about. It is so relaxing up there, and one of my most favorite places in all of Cairo. I also like to just walk down Corniche el Nil, along the Nile is so cool and so much activity there with all the locals. But try to get out of Cairo and take a nice relaxing break at the Red Sea, such as Sharm el Shiek or Hurgada, or any of those resort areas. Alexandria is also nice. But I do recommend to everyone to do a Nile cruise to Luxor and Aswan to see all the monuments of ancient Egypt. Ahhh so much to do there! Have fun and get most of your suggestions from the Egyptians that live there, I swear by that method!! I ALWYAS have fun there thanks to them!
