Cairo Travel Guide

Cairo means "The Vanquisher" or "The Triumphant". It is located on the banks and islands of the Nile River in the north of Egypt, immediately south of the point where the river leaves its desert-bound valley and breaks into two branches into the low-lying Nile Delta region.

About Cairo

Cairo covers an area of 82.6 sq. miles (214 square Km) and is estimated to have a population of 8 million people being the capital city of Egypt, the largest city in Egypt and Africa's most populous city. Cairo is the sixteenth most populous metropolitan area in the world.

Chicken Tikka

Often dismissed as just another fast food restaurant, this famous chain offers a great range of delicious and spicy dishes at reasonable prices. The sterile Americanised interior is decorated with pictures of pop culture icons.

There is a wonderful salad bar with many middle-eastern dishes. Chicken tikka is, of course, the house speciality and always cooked to succulent perfection. The sheesh tawook (chicken kebab slow-cooked on a spit) and fajitas are equally tasty. Try the hot buri bread - its delicious. The average entree costs around EGP 22, but there are plenty of cheaper items to choose from.
