#6 I haven't been there for about 15 years. Cairo was crowded as hell then and a real dump. The Nile Hilton was nice (other than lots of vacationing Saudis not living up to their muzzie codes of conduct) and so was the Museum of Antiquities. I wouldn't go back.

#7 Mr. Wife preferred the Mena House to the Hilton in 1986 or -7, remoteman, and said the same thing about the Saudis. He learnt the hard way (alternating dysentary and food poisoning) never to eat the meat there.
