Go to poor places in Cairo and eat authentic Egyptian food

Answered by peter Nagy , Al Haram, Egypt

i think going to st. catherine monastery , because hiking the mountain is tiring so not everyone goes there
u can also try para sailing and kite surfing at Sharm el sheikh or Hurghada these activities are espensive 4 egyptians so usually ppl dont do them

You really want to know what is 'off the beaten path’...!!!! first you can visit old Egypt as they call it (masr elkadema) places around the Hossien and Azhar mosque and khan elkhalily... but this is not so off path...
What is really not done by tourists is visiting (the random habitation) as they call it.. it is places were poor people live in very old and small and stinky houses... this makes the one fell the poor and thank god on what he lives in.... it is a thing that is really not seen by everyone.. Even people living nearby.. "Pathetic right"
HAVE FUN ;)

Visit Al Azhar Park, a beautiful new park in Cairo that has brilliant restaurants and delightful landscaping - an escape from chaotic Cairo.

Visit one of the old houses such as Wekalet El Ghoury where you can see the collection of tannoura and even join the tourists for a tannoura show on some nights of the week.

Go to the Cairo Jazz Club, it's not always jazz (everything from modern Egyptian folk through funk, jazz fusion to rock and roll) but the atmosphere and music are excellent.

Visit the Nilometer on Roda Island, one of the oldest structures in Cairo.

Visit the Wassa Wasef tapestry centre out near Saqqara - an incredible project...
