Cairo, Egypt, offers a unique experience for visitors to explore the Egyptian capital like a local. The city, known for its notorious traffic, crowds, and smog, is renowned for its curiousness and hospitality. The Reuters bureau chief for Egypt, Sudan, and North Africa, has found ways to avoid the chaos by using rideshare and delivery apps. The Giza Pyramids, where touts once held traffic-stopped taxis, now feature shuttle buses and fixed prices for camel rides. Cairo has a robust metro system, with three lines covering major north-south and east-west axes and a fourth line, set to connect downtown Cairo with the recently opened Grand Egyptian Museum. Egyptian food is well-known, with street staples such as koshari and Taameya being popular. Additionally, the city holds numerous treasures, including works from its time as the premier Islamic base of Islamic culture.
