Al Azbakīyah

Visited the big and busy Cairo. Admired mommies and statues from the big, old and forgotten egyptian era in the Egyptian Museum, visited the big pyramids and the (surprisingly) not so big Sfinx. Probably the best experience in Cairo was fearing for your life everytime you had to cross the street hiding behind locals or just hoping that cars will dodge you at some point.
