A DAY IN CAIRO

 Tuesday 5th May

We arrived at Cairo Airport and got a taxi to our hotel. We stayed at the Hotel Windsor, in the
Centre. It was nice, clean hotel and only $45 a night. But I didn’t sleep much – Cairo is a really
noisy city and the trams start at five in the morning.
 Wednesday 6th May
We only had one day in Cairo, and this was it! So we got up early and went to the souk, which
is an area of streets with shops and markets – they sell everything. Anna bought a coffee pot. I
saw a beautiful carpet, but I didn’t buy it. Then we went to the Citadel, stayed there for an hour
and looked at the whole city.
In the evening we went to a restaurant by the Nile. We had kebabs, bread and salad and
watched the boats on the river – it was beautiful. So that was our day in Cairo – we didn’t see
the Pyramids, but we saw the city and we had a good time.
