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.

 Thursday 7th May

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.
