I am an Italian/American male. Will be in Egypt in two days.
Not familiar with Cairo at all. I would like to rent a car once i get there.
I want to see Cairo from inside out.

Cairo must be seen from outside if you want to fully enjoy the magic of this city. T First try this. take a walk, mingle with its people then I'm sure you will forget about the car.

Forget the car, the traffic will send you mental!!! Meet the people as Port Said said!!!! LOL
Must see!!!!! egyptian museum, downtown, pyramids at Giza, Hire a driver for the day to take you to see all the sights like mosques, markets, citadel etc. Agree a price before hand. Have a great trip.

Get a copy of the lonely planet, great guide book. But remember prices are always at least 2 years out of date. that will give you lots of advice.
do not drive in Cairo unless you have a death wish. Hire a car and driver for about the same price, let him him get high blood pressure while you relax.

Really, i can't drive in Cairo! Is it really that crowded !
Oh well, i had planned to rent a car and kinda get to drive in the streets of Cairo and just go about anywhere and everywhere.
im sure that the city has lot more to offer than just the museum , Pyramids and downtown.
I want to know the people and talk to them, but is English wide spread there?

Truly! Don't rent a car! I almost did this before I went and I'm so glad I didn't. You will not be able to handle it. Really!
