Cairo Pictures, Egypt Pictures, Cairo Photos, Egypt Photos

Egypt pictures from different areas of Cairo. The Egyptian capital is crowded and dirty with several coffee shops per block. Men drink tea or coffee and smoke sheesha pipes of flavored tobacco for hours for under $1 USD. The Nile slices through the city, with downtown and the Egyptian Museum on the East Bank. The Pyramids are 30 minutes southeast in the suburbs. Be sure to view the separate picture galleries of the Pyramids and Mosques of Cairo.
