Impression of Cairo? Taxi cabs are plenty but have no meters. Traffic lights are virtualy non-exist on the roads that are congested. Kids don't say hello to you but ask "what's your name?" instead. Taamiya (or called felafel if outside Cairo) stuffed in shammy is wonderful when both freshly made. Never miss Felfela Takeaway on 15 Talaat Harb Street. Paper money in small denomiations are hard to show its original colors, and coins are not in circulation but sold in suvenir shop . Want to buy anything in Khan al-Khalili? Bargain hard; start with 20% of their asking price and pay no more than 30%.
