Cairo, Egypt travel guide~

Long-distance travel across Eurasia, from Cappadocia in Turkey to Cairo in Egypt, from one magical place to another magical place, I feel like I am constantly traveling~ 🌸About transportation Cappadocia flew to Cairo, transferred to Istanbul on the way, and landed in Cairo at one o'clock in the morning🥱. I slept at the airport for one night. I went to the bus station outside Cairo Airport early in the morning and took the bus to the city center. The ticket was 17 Egyptian pounds, which was very cheap. ~ 🌸About visa Visa on arrival costs 25 US dollars, which can be paid in cash or with a visa card. It is recommended to pay in US dollars in cash, which is much more convenient~ 🌸About the environment Compared with Turkey, day by day, the smell of urine on the streets in Egypt is a bit serious, and it is also quite dirty. Of course, the prices are still relatively cheap, but when shopping and eating, there will be crazy tax increases, which is disguised as high prices~ 🌸About accommodation 🕌Tahrir Square Hostel: The location is great and the transportation is very convenient. It is next to the central square and very close to the old Egyptian Museum. There is also welcome juice, which is very delicious. The breakfast is delicious. The guys and girls at the front desk are very nice ~ all the rooms are mixed ~ 🕌holy sheet hostel: It is a very famous youth hostel in Cairo. There are a lot of Chinese people. Those who want to have a good time can come here. However, the hygiene is average. The mixed-use bathroom for men and women is a bit dirty. The water in the bath is sometimes big and sometimes small~ The location is good, right next to the pedestrian street. It's very bustling and the morning is nice. The stray kittens fostered there are very cute~ 🌸About dressing Due to different beliefs, it is recommended to dress conservatively when going out, otherwise you will easily encounter harassment~ 🌸About Egypt’s ‘pit’ ​The pit in Egypt, with a bit of chivalry, robbing the rich and giving to the poor~ The "rich" who rob the tourists and help the poor of the locals. A driver who blatantly digs holes may give money to a begging child on the roadside in the next second. He will try his best to get a few more yuan, but the other end will Help the old man cross the road~ When I was wary and thought it was for tips and purposeful help, I discovered that they were really just pure enthusiasm and kindness. No wonder many people left and then went back, just to drink another sip of Nile water~
