À propos de Le Caire
Cairo is really two cities either side of the Nile. The pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum are on the Giza side; the medieval city, the Citadel and the souk are on the east bank, and Downtown with its nineteenth-century grid sits between them on the river.
The layers do not replace one another here, they sit side by side. A Fatimid mosque of the tenth century, a Mamluk madrasa, an Ottoman fountain and an Art Deco apartment block can be on the same walk, and often are.
It is a very large city and the distances are real. Three days is enough for Giza, the museums and the old city if each is given a whole half-day and the crossing between them is planned rather than improvised.
