Cairo is a crowded city with a dense population. You should have a device with GPS to move around the city easily. Recently there have been many bridges and new routes. That’s why GPS is crucial for a newcomer. Finally, having something useful to engage in while driving will be awesome to overcome wasting time due to traffic congestion.

Cairo is an incredible city, but an especially challenging place to manage for the lone foreigner. The main language used in daily affairs is Arabic, so it would be useful to have an electronic means of translation available. Also, traffic is horrendous, so don’t expect to arrive anywhere on time, or for others to be punctual either.

Anyone moving to Cairo, Egypt should consider the everlasting traffic jam and super packed streets. It also won’t be easy getting used to how super friendly people are. However, It is such a beautiful and somehow peaceful city in terms of how pure people’s intentions are with you.

Cairo is the capital of Egypt. Cairo is full of traffic but it has heavenly places to visit, like The Great Pyramids of Giza, Cairo Tower and El- Moez Street. It’s so cool and breezy at night, full of restaurants that have different cuisines. Cairo is an Islamic city that has lots of Mosques and Coptic sites.

She or he has to know the weather is frankly hot in Summer and that we have traffic jams a lot. They also need to learn Arabic and know how to communicate with people. Prices also differ from a store to another just like anywhere else; there are more than one way to arrive anywhere, so you don’t need to worry about what means of transportation you will be taking.

Know about traffic. It can get pretty crowded. Most of my foreign friends found that to be a bit difficult to deal with. Also, the weather on summer days can be too hot. Most people in my city spend summer outside; they often travel north – the coastal cities- where the weather is bearable.

Egypt’s capital Cairo is a huge and sprawling city in North Africa with a population of more than 20 million people. There is a lot of pollution and traffic, which does not always make it a very livable place. However, Egyptians are very kind and welcoming people, which is one of the reasons the city can be described as a magnet. The city comes alive at night and there are many sites and neighborhoods waiting to be explored.

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is the center of tourist attractions, so living there would never be boring, however, it is of utmost importance to note that traffic is a nightmare for newcomers. Therefore, the pollution is also at a high rate, considering the huge amount of citizens (and car drivers).
