Best of Cairo Egypt - Top 10 List

After our recent trip I put together footage I shot into a 'best of' list for Cairo, Egypt. Everything from bellydancing to the Khan El Khalili souk. Here's the rundown:
1. Bellydancing + whirling dervishes (Mawlawi Order - Sufi dancers) مولويه
2. The Giza pyramids
3. Camel riding
4. The Sphinx أبو الهول
5. Faluka ride down the Nile river (or felucca or falooka)
6. Taxi around the city
7. The cave churches (www.cavechurch.com) to find em
8. The Egyptian Museum
9. The Citadel قلعة صلاح الدين‎ (especially the Mosque of Mohamed Ali)
10. Khan El Khalili souk خان الخليلي‎

Egypt also have fantastic places better than Cairo like Luxor and Aswan in upper Egypt plus Sharm El Shekh and Hurgada in the Red Sea and more...

I also found very interesting and funny to have the Piza Hut/KFC just across the street from the Sphinx! Told that story to everyone!

@Tomyjons1 - Dave Chapelle is a Muslim, T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, Mos Def, even Malcom X was a Muslim, were they crazy? What about the many muslims in the US military? are they crazy? Please keep your ignorance to yourself

I love how street smart you are. Good job! I hope I can take my fiancee there sometime. She grew up as a country girl but I think she will be ok.

Why do I hear so little about Shubra El-Kheima?

4th city of Egypt with a population of over a million

Is it really just seen as an extension of Cairo?
