Cairo Egypt has been the worse experience in my life. I consider myself pretty well traveled but Egypt sucked. On arrival the traffic was atrocious chaotic mess where we thought we’d get hit at every turn. The hotels in Cairo called 5 star were run down and old. The streets were shit (literally) with horse dung everywhere.
We also went in thinking we’d have a fun tour experience booked through viator. We noticed something fishy when we messaged them a day before with no response. They didn’t even ask us to send them our passport info, another red flag. So the day of our tour we were sitting in the lobby for hours trying to reach this company that kept ghosting us.
Going through the local airport was a nightmare. The security fibbed at my mother saying something about some shit when they just wanted to not frisk her. We almost lost our passport.
I just want to go home now…
