Hi All,
I am going to be in Egypt towards the end of the year for about ten days. I have a few quick questions for those of you from there or who have been there. Here goes:

1. How far is the Cairo international airport from downtown Cairo (in terms of time)?
2. Where can I find the bus schedules (specifically A/C Bus #356)?
3. Have any of you stayed at the following hotels:
– Hotel Tulip
– Hotel Luna
– Victoria Hotel
– Berlin Hotel

If so, what was your experience at any of these hotels?
4. Are there specific areas of Cairo I should avoid?

Hope to get a response to my questions soon. Thanks a lot.

Pranav

Unfortunately,

1. don’t remember
2. don’t know
3. No. Stayed in Zamelek at the Mayfair.

4.Avoid the toilets at the Sufi Dancing show, the best free show on the planet with the worst toilets on the planet.
