We arrived in Cairo at 1:00am. Thankfully not too much trouble finding a reasonably priced taxi from the airport to our hostel -- which happens to be called "Canadian Hostel". Very friendly staff, and as you can see, 5-star luxurious accomodations! Also, it is warm here. And by warm, I mean HOTTER THAN A CAMEL'S BALLLS!!!!
Enjoying some "tofah" (apple) flavoured shisha and fesh mango juice at a local cafe in the middle of the night. As it is the holy month of Ramadan and the Arabs haven't eaten, drank or smoked all day, they stay up all night breaking the fast and celebrating. At 5:30am, as prayers rang out over Cairo from the loudspeakers, they closed up shop and sent everyone home as sunrise was near and another day of fasting upon them.
Within less than an hour of our arrival, one of the locals was harassing Dom. He just doesn't fit in here.
This was a sight to behold. "Ask us about timeshares in Mosul!"
Dusk on the Nile. Dom and I ate dinner at an Egyptian/Lebanses cuisine restaurant at the "Nile City" complex seen above (it's actually a permanently moored ferry converted into restaurant space). Right next to our restaurant was a Chili's. Lolz
