Travel Info

Travel Tips

Cairo always is very busy - at day or night...Like NY it's a city that never sleeps....And in hot summer months, it's even busier in the night hours, because most people in avoids to go out during the daytime when it's so extremely hot outside.

In Cairo, most shops are 24 hours a day, except for the prayer times you might find some shops closed...

Those people seem to never sleep, all you hear all night is horns from cars, people in the streets, sheesha being smoked, music, and on and on I can go. The noise is intoxicating, all the smells mixed together are overwhelming, I got sick one night at 4:30 in the morning because of the loudness mixed with an over kill of polluting smells, and food smells. I was sitting on the balcony of my hotel watching the chaos because sleeping was not an option where I was.
Cairo is alive and busy from early morning until about 3am.
It never really sleeps.
Even at 3 or 4 am you can find families walking around,guys having a game of soccer in a one way street,others just sitting in a grassy spot on one of the midans.
The traffic,well, the traffic in Cairo never stops,even in Ramadan.
No one goes out to dinner until 11pm and the clubs and discos go all night.Most shops are open until 10 or 11pm,some just stay open 24/7.
The quietest time of the day is mid afternoon, particularly in summer its sleeping time!
Then everyone's up around 7pm and getting ready to hit the town.
