A DAY IN CAIRO
AN UNFORGETTABLE PLACE
● 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.
