Driving through Cairo (Egypt) in the early morning hours?

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

My sister-in-law and her husband got back a few weeks ago from their honeymoon from Qatar and Dubai (they also went to Thailand). I was already concerned about them going to that region.

Egypt though from a good amount of people are either not wanting to go or will never go back not because of political reasons but because of the treatment they receive or see (towards animals) while there. I would love to go to Egypt especially after they just opened the new museum by the pyramids amongst other places but it is not a destination that I am willing to go right now between hassling from people, concerns over personal safety and poor treatment of the animals while there. Even a river cruise on the Nile wouldn't absolve that. It's a bucket list trip though.

We were actually in Egypt last November for only 72 hours to see the new Grand Egyptian Museum.

Oh I'd love to visit that museum - how wonderful was it?

It was jaw-dropping magnificent! I think you need 3 days to see all the objects. We had 5-6 hours and it felt very rushed. I already booked another guided tour for our next visit. Hopefully we can make it there.
