9:30 a.m. Start your trip with a stroll in Zamalek, the glamorous northern
part of the Gezira island on the Nile. Dotted with elegant townhouses,
Zamalek houses embassies from all over the world. Away from the chaos, its
tree-lined streets march to the beat of a gentler drum. Begin your day at Left
Bank, a chic, riverside café that offers a smattering of indulgent menu
options, including the traditional Cairene breakfast.
While the main attractions of Coptic Cairo are its churches, there is also a
small, sepia-toned market underneath the main street, featuring a jewelry
shop and well-priced books about Egyptian architecture and history.
