Please find something better to do with your time than leave insolent comments directed at my friends. Real thoughtful.

Thanks.

2. Yes, if you know how to haggle…which I don’t.
3. Hit and miss.

Can’t wait to read more stories! Possible things that I would like to know about Egypt:
1. Do the women still wear heavy kohl eyeliner like Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra?
2. Are the markets there as great as everyone says they are?
3. How is the food?

Be safe and have fun!

I always utilized the 4 ft x 3 ft veiled local ladies and walked down traffic from them as I crossed. Only sure way not to get hit.

The other mystery about Cairo traffic is the traffic lights. Sometime they are obeyed and sometimes they are not. Red can mean go or stop. But what I could never figure out WHEN red meant go or WHEN it meant stop. Same for green.
