An impressive well designed website.  Extremely engaging manner of describing Egyptian culture. To illustrate, the authors describe the calls of the street merchants:

“…Visitors may not realise it but the cries of the street sellers encapsulate the poetry and humour of the Egyptian people. The following are examples: boasting of the grapes’ sweetness, the seller cries, “Drowsing through the climbing vine, bees hint at the promise of sun-kissed wine!” Somewhat prone to exaggeration, sugar cane sellers shout, “Seven-metre cane, oh sugar cane”, when sugar cane never reaches more than five metres in length…”

This kind of verbal imagery is exactly what I am searching for – just click here.

No cost for these services.

Maps are also available at the airport in Cairo.
