> As a first-time, clueless, and short-term visitor to Cairo in 2007 I
> stayed at the Windsor Hotel, www.windsorcairo.com, a truly strange relic
> of empire, decent neighborhood. (Not sure if Sadan Jha will be amused by
> relics of empire.) Someone there set me up with a bit of interesting
> touring. In addition to the Pyramids (one camel ride is enough for a
> lifetime)and the Egyptian Museum (tacky presentation of great
> collections), take the subway to the Coptic churches and cemeteries;
> fascinating.
