【エジプト】ピラミッドやカイロ市内を徹底解説‼︎　ラクダの乗り方・お土産相場・博物館もぜーんぶ紹介‼︎

Hello. I’m Taka from Zipang55. I’m currently at Cairo Airport in Egypt. In the previous video, I introduced Luxor, but this time I’ll introduce Giza and Cairo. I’m heading to Cairo city by Uber. This time, I’ll introduce how to ride Uber, recommended tourist spots, recommended restaurants, and the hotel I stayed at. I’d like to introduce recommended tourist spots divided into Giza and Cairo. In the Luxor edition, I introduced the tipping situation in Egypt and the history of ancient Egypt, so please check that out if you like. The video is long, so I hope you can skip to the necessary part from the description and watch it. This channel mainly introduces hotels and introduces tourist spots in various places. It would be great if you could subscribe to the channel, like it, and give it a super thanks, as it will encourage me to make videos. Let’s get started . Uber is available in Cairo, so I would like to use it. If you call at Cairo Airport, it will come to a nearby parking lot. Please note that it cannot come in front of the terminal. Uber displays the car model, color, and number. Egyptian car numbers are written in Arabic numbers, so it may be a good idea to remember the numbers 1 to 9. You can generally tell by the color and model of the car, so when you meet up, check with the Uber you called or the driver. Many of the touts at Cairo Airport are rip-offs. They often say things like “I can’t get my car here, so I’ll take you to a place where it can come” and lead you to their car, so it’s safer not to trust them. Ignore all the touts and call an Uber. Uber doesn’t have any persistent solicitations, and you can set and pay tips later, so I’d like to make full use of it in Cairo. Let’s start with the recommended tourist spots in Giza and Cairo. First, let’s introduce the three great pyramids in the Giza area. When you think of Egypt, you think of the pyramids. It’s a 30-minute drive from Cairo Tower in the center of Cairo, and about an hour from Cairo Airport. I think it’s easier to get around by using a taxi such as Uber. Before entering, purchase a ticket, go through baggage inspection, and enter. It costs 700 EGP to enter the grounds of the Giza Pyramids, and it costs money to enter the inside of the pyramids. Most tourist spots in Egypt are cheap for students and Egyptians. The entrance fee to the pyramids has recently increased significantly, so it seems that it will continue to increase. This time, I will enter the Pyramid of Khufu, which is quite expensive at 1500 EGP. Well, since it’s my first time in Egypt, I would like to enter the pyramids as well. Tickets can be purchased in advance online. Recently, the location of the main gate and the place to purchase tickets have changed. Until now, the main gate was located near the pyramids, but the location has been changed to the Great Gate. If you want to purchase tickets on the spot, please note that you need to purchase them at the Great Gate. You can enter and exit from the Great Gate and the Sphinx Gate. If you want to go to another place by Uber, go to either one and call it. If you are heading from Cairo city, the closest is the Sphinx Gate. This is also close to the Pyramid of Khufu and the Great Sphinx. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the Sphinx Gate to the Pyramid of Khufu. There is a free tourist bus connecting each pyramid and the gate, so there is no need to walk. There is a mysterious tout near the gate who calls himself a guide. He shows some kind of ID and says it won’t cost anything, but you will be charged in the end, so refuse. The information can be found on the Internet, so there is no need to ask. He will follow you on his own, but make sure to refuse clearly. There was also a sign in Japanese that said “Tourist Police”. I’m not sure if it’s functioning properly. First, I want to go see the Great Sphinx. There were souvenir shops lined up on the way there. I would like to stop by, but I don’t think I’ll be able to take my time looking around because the store clerks are trying to sell me, so I’ll pass. I would like to briefly explain the Sphinx of Giza. The Sphinx is one of the mysterious structures. The Sphinx in Giza is thought to have been built by King Khafre, who built the second pyramid. It was originally built on the site of a quarry for building the pyramids. They also built a temple here, but after completing part of it, they stopped construction. At that time, it seems that they often stopped construction even if it was half-way through if they came up with a good idea. It is now called the Sphinx, but it is not known what it was called at the time. This is because there was a time when the Sphinx was forgotten for a long time. The Sphinx made during the Old Kingdom was unfinished, so no one worshiped it and it was buried in sand for more than 500 years. It was later excavated during the New Kingdom, and pilgrimages to the Sphinx became popular. During this period, the power of the priests was stronger than that of the pharaohs, and it is said that this was done to restore the power of the former pharaohs. During the Late Dynastic Period, a statue of Osiris was built around the Sphinx and it began to be painted. During the Roman period, an offering table was made in front of the Sphinx to offer offerings, and even Roman emperors came to worship it. This is the Great Sphinx. There are various theories, but it is said that it has the head of King Khafre and the body of a lion. As explained in the Luxor edition, in ancient Egypt, the head was important and the body was an accessory. Therefore, there are many murals with the body of a human and the head of a god. If you join another tour, you can get close to the feet. At the feet is an inscription of Thutmose IV’s dream. Thutmose IV was a pharaoh during the New Kingdom period. When Thutmose IV came to this area to hunt gazelles, he got tired and fell asleep. In his dream, the Sphinx appeared and said, “If you dig me up, I will make you a pharaoh,” and he dug up the Sphinx. The contents of that dream are written on the inscription at the feet. The Sphinx is located between two pyramids, and on the summer solstice, the sun sets just above the Sphinx. King Khafre, who built it, combined the pyramid of King Khufu that already existed with the pyramid he built and the Sphinx, bringing a different meaning and recreating the space. It looks like stones are piled up, but in fact it was built on the site of a stone quarry, so it was built by cutting out stones. It is impressive to see it in person, so please go and see it. Let’s ride a camel to the Pyramid of Khafre, and then walk to the Pyramid of Khufu. You can see the pyramids while riding a camel or a horse-drawn carriage around the pyramids. Here are some points to note when riding a camel. It is more economical to negotiate on site than to join in advance in Japan or on a tour. Camels near the Pyramid of Khafre are more likely to negotiate the price than those near the entrance. The official government price for a camel is 500 EGP per person for one hour. However, it is possible to get a lower price than this, and if there are a lot of participants, they will give you a good discount. I visited with a group of four, and we were able to ride for 350 EGP per person. I think we could have negotiated for about 300 EGP if we had negotiated more. If there are fewer people, it may be a good idea to negotiate the price, thinking that 450 EGP or more per person is expensive. You cannot negotiate the price including the tip. The person who collects the money is different from the person who guides you on the camel. It seems that two people can ride on one camel, but basically one person rides on one camel. The going rate is around 100 to 200 EGP depending on the number of participants. I gave 100 EGP as a tip, but he complained that it was too little, but in the end he agreed and went home. It takes about 30 minutes one way to the Pyramid of Khafre, and an hour to return to the starting point. So, if you are only riding for 30 minutes, it might be a good idea to negotiate for half the price. There is a free bus for transportation, so please try it as an experience. It was a luxurious time to ride a camel while looking at the pyramids from the side. However, the ride was not very comfortable, and if you are not firmly seated, you will be thrown off, and it was quite shaky. They stop occasionally to take photos. Since there are times like this, it is a good idea to give at least a small tip. There is a decorative stone on top of the Pyramid of Khafre, but at that time all the pyramids were covered with decorative stones and were said to shine white. Now, let’s head to the Pyramid of Khufu. Around the Pyramid of Khufu, there was a gelato shop and a souvenir shop where you can take a break. There were key chains and ornaments inside. The prices are quite high. There was also a shop of Nefertari, a famous Egyptian brand. There was a gelato shop nearby, which was helpful on a hot day. There were many flavors, so I was happy. However, the price was about three times higher than when I ate it in Cairo. They also sold drinks, so you might be able to take a short break. One thing to note about the Pyramid of Khufu is that you cannot enter between 11:50 and 13:00. I ended up waiting for an hour without knowing that. Be careful about the timing of your visit. So I killed time at a gelato shop, but there are not many seats here, so you can’t stay for a long time. It seems that you cannot take videos inside the pyramid, only photos, so be careful about that. Many people may think that many workers were forced to work in the construction of the pyramids. The historian Herodotus also wrote something similar. However, recent research has refuted this theory. Excavations from the ruins where the workers lived show that they ate a fairly high-calorie diet. They raised cattle and ate tender calves once every two to three days. In addition to that, they were given large amounts of bread and catfish, so it is thought that they had a rich diet. It ‘s impressive when you see it up close. The tour route is not through the official entrance, but through a hole that was used during tomb robbery. You climb up the stairs to the entrance. They seem to be stairs carved out of the stones of the pyramid. There was a staff member and a warning sign at the entrance. The view from the entrance is also spectacular. Let’s go inside. Inside, you will climb a narrow passage, so you will have to bend over. If you have bad legs, it may be a little difficult to climb. Inside, the heat is as intense as a sauna, so be sure to drink plenty of water. Going through the narrow passage, you will come to a larger passage. This passage narrows towards the ceiling, which is said to have the effect of distributing the weight. Inside was the sarcophagus and small room where King Khufu was believed to have been placed. This was quite large, and it looked like it could fit about 40 to 50 people. This is the only place you can see it, so it may be important to experience the excitement of being inside the pyramid. Above this is a five-story tower-like structure, which is also said to distribute the weight. Pyramids were often built during the Old Kingdom, but due to grave robbing and the mounting construction costs, in the New Kingdom, people began to be buried in tombs like the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. It’s too hot to stay there for long, but it’s a great impression, so you should go in at least once. Now, we’ll get on the bus and head to the main gate. From there, we’ll take Uber. The bus was air-conditioned and cool, and there were many buses, so it was very convenient. Please make use of it when traveling. Next is the Grand Egyptian Museum, located near the pyramids of Giza. It’s about a 15-minute drive from the pyramids. The Japanese government is also helping with the development here, so there were signs in Japanese. You go through baggage inspection at the entrance and then go inside. Anything you can’t bring inside is left in the security area outside. The entrance fee is 1100 EGP, which is also quite expensive. After repeated postponements, it is scheduled to open in 2025. When I visited, it wasn’t fully open, so I was able to see some of the exhibits. After the opening, all 5000 grave goods, including Tutankhamun’s golden mask, will be exhibited. It will also have a state-of-the-art restoration center and research facilities, and will function as the center of Egyptian archaeology. The design of the building is modern and reminiscent of a pyramid. Let’s go inside. The inside is a spacious space, and the overflowing sun is beautiful. Near the entrance is a real statue of Ramses II, which was moved from the old Ramesseum temple site. There is also a gift shop nearby, which sells souvenirs. This place is also a little expensive, but it sells original goods, so it might be worth a look. There was a restaurant and a Starbucks inside. The price of Starbucks seems to be about the same as in Japan. Considering the cost of living in Egypt, it is quite expensive. There was also a gelato shop at the Giza Pyramids. This time I had lunch at a restaurant called ZooBa. The price is a little high, but it is not very expensive for Japanese people. I ordered moussaka this time, but it was completely different from what I expected. I also ordered molokheiya soup and mango juice. Moussaka, a traditional Greek dish, is a dish similar to ratatouille, but here you eat it by dipping bread in the soup. The taste was a little spicy, so it may not be to everyone’s liking. Now let’s take a look at the exhibits. On the stairs, there were stone statues of past pharaohs and goddesses on display. You can go up next to them by escalators or stairs. From the large window at the top you can see the pyramids. It seems that only a part of the exhibits are on display, but it takes more than an hour to see them. If you read the explanations carefully, it will probably take about 2 to 3 hours. Inside there were murals, stone statues, and mummy sarcophagi. There were some unusual items, such as a crocodile mummy. There were Egyptian-like exhibits, but there was no major exhibit yet, so I’m looking forward to seeing items related to Tutankhamun in the future. It’s a little cold inside the museum, so it’s safer to bring something to wear over your clothes. Try visiting it together with the pyramids. Next, I’ll introduce the Cairo area. The first one I’ll introduce is Muhammad Ali Mosque. It’s about a 20-minute drive from Cairo Tower. The price is 550 EGP per person. Students get half the price, so it’s a great deal. In Egypt, there is almost always a baggage inspection when entering a tourist facility. It’s a bit of a hassle, but it can’t be helped for safety. Muhammad Ali Mosque is a historic mosque built in the 19th century. Construction began in 1830 by Muhammad Ali Pasha, the governor who led Egypt to a modern nation. It was completed in 1857 after his death. The mosque stands on top of the Saladin Citadel hill, overlooking the city of Cairo, and its white exterior and two tall minarets are impressive. You will be barefoot inside. Plastic bags are distributed for a fee, and you can wear them in your shoes when entering. A huge chandelier hangs from the large central dome, which, together with the decorations on the ceiling, creates a magnificent atmosphere. Arabic calligraphy is used to depict verses from the Quran and geometric patterns on the walls and ceiling. The patterns are very detailed. The chandelier is also beautifully decorated. When you think of Egypt, you think of pyramids, but it’s good to know that there are beautiful mosques like this. The surroundings of the building are also designed to give you a sense of history, and even just walking around is fun. You can see the whole of Cairo from the palace courtyard. You can also see the pyramids of Giza in the background. When you see the pyramids, you’ll be very excited. Enjoy the view from here. Within the grounds of the Muhammad Ali Mosque, there is a police museum and a military museum. As part of the Police Museum, we were able to visit the prison that was used at the time. There were dolls inside, so we could get a good idea of ​​what it was like back then. The Egyptian summer is quite hot, so it seems like prisons must be pretty tough. At the Military Museum, weapons and armaments of the Egyptian army from ancient times to modern times were on display. Videos were not allowed inside, only photography was allowed. It was larger than I expected, and it was hard to see. Personally, I didn’t think there were any particularly interesting exhibits. There is quite a bit of walking to do at Muhammad Ali Mosque, including the surrounding area, so make sure you allow yourself plenty of time when visiting. Next, I would like to introduce Abdin Palace. It is located in the center of Cairo, about 10 minutes by car from Cairo Tower. Inside, you can only take photos for an additional fee, so I will show you the photos. It seems that you can also take videos for an additional fee. The entrance fee is 150 EGP. It was built in 1874 by Ismail Pasha, the Egyptian governor of the Muhammad Ali dynasty, who ruled Egypt. It became the residence of successive rulers, and after the Nasser Revolution in 1952, it became the property of the government. You can see beautiful buildings, gifts to emperors and presidents, and their possessions. There were quite a lot of guns and weapons on display. There were also gorgeous swords and crowns decorated with jewels, which were worth seeing. There were many beautiful exhibits, but there were staff members in various places who were always checking on us, so it was a bit tense. Baggage inspection was also strict. Letters and gifts sent by Emperor Showa were also on display. You can see the majestic items of the emperor, so if you have time, please stop by. Next is Khan El-Khalili Bazaar. It is about a 15-minute drive from Cairo Tower. Khan El-Khalili Bazaar is the most famous and historic souk in Cairo. It is also one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Middle East and the Islamic world. This market was built in the late 14th century during the Mamluk period and was originally used as a lodging and warehouse for traders. Today, it is a lively place where locals and tourists come and go, and is the center of Cairo’s old city (Islamic district). Walking through the narrow alleys, it feels like you have traveled back in time. First, I would like to head to a famous cafe. It is called “El Fishawy”, and has a history of over 200 years, and is famous for being frequented by Nobel Prize-winning author Naguib Mahfouz. The inside of the store was quite small, with only a small table and about four chairs. There were a lot of tourists. There is no menu here, so you have to ask the staff verbally what is available. Foreigners may be charged a higher price, so be sure to check. There was music playing in the store, but be careful because they ask for a tip. This time I ordered a Turkish coffee. It was 75 EGP per cup. The previous store was 50 EGP, so they may have quoted a price a little higher. They gave me a glass of water as a service, but at the end they tried to charge me. If you receive something other than what you ordered, be sure to check before you start eating it. The atmosphere inside the store is unique, and I don’t think you can experience this often in Japan. Stop by for a break. Now let’s take a quick stroll around the market. First, we head to a store called Jordi Basar. Most stores in Khanhari do not have price tags, so you have to negotiate. This store has price tags, so you can buy things without negotiating. So it might be a good idea to visit first and get an idea of ​​the market price. The store is on the second floor of a store with a camel mark. Go up the narrow stairs. This shop is always crowded with tourists, so it may not be the best place to browse leisurely. Inside, the products are packed tightly. The large tote bags were 400 EGP, and the small ones were about 100 EGP. The ornaments ranged from 20 EGP to 500 EGP. For 500 EGP, you could buy a pretty nice ornament. I don’t know if it’s real, but they also sell alabaster. This is papyrus paper, I think. It has an Egyptian-like picture on it. The mugs have nice designs, too. They were about 170 EGP. The magnets were 25 EGP. The boxes with geometric patterns were about 100 EGP to 250 EGP, and the price varied quite a bit depending on the size. It ‘s interesting that the faces of the ornaments are slightly different from one another, perhaps because they were hand-painted. There was one with a very messy face. They also sold pouches. Earlier, some kids tried to sell me one for 100 EGP, but here they were selling them for about 8 EGP. If you are not good at bargaining, I recommend buying from the shop mentioned above. The market does not seem so scary, but there are many people, so you need to be careful of pickpockets. There were a wide variety of shops in the market, including lamp and clothing shops. There are many shops selling ethnic costumes, so if you are interested, please stop by. As you walk down the street, people will call out to you for $1, but even $1 can be expensive, and you may not be able to get away with that price, so you can ignore them. The market price for a lamp is apparently 300 EGP, but they did not lower the price from 800 EGP, so I gave up on buying it. When negotiating the price, it may be a good idea to keep the market price in mind and lower the price considerably at the beginning. The other party will not expect you to buy at the price you initially offer, so they will charge you quite a lot. Never buy at the initial price. You can experience the good old Arab atmosphere, so please stop by. Near Khan Khalili Market is the Al-Azhar Mosque. It was built by the Fatimid dynasty in 970 and was used as a missionary base for Shiite Islam. It is still an active mosque and educational institution, and is an important religious and cultural center visited by local residents as well as Muslims and scholars from around the world. Video recording inside was prohibited, but photos were fine. The sky reflected on the white floor, and it was a beautiful mosque. There was no noise and it had a calm atmosphere. There are separate seating areas for women and men, so please sit separately. There are many local people praying, so it is better to spend time quietly so as not to disturb them. Next is the Egyptian Museum. It is famous for housing Tutankhamun’s golden mask. It is about a 7-minute drive from Cairo Tower. The price was 550 EGP for adults. The building was built in 1902, and it was the first museum to be built almost entirely of concrete at that time. The design is said to be modeled after the temples of the Late Dynasty of ancient Egypt. In front of the museum is the tomb of Auguste Mariette, a French archaeologist who was instrumental in the construction of the archaeological museum. He is buried here because he wanted to watch over the museum even after his death. The building is two stories tall, and the exhibits are mainly from ruins ranging from ancient Egyptian civilization to Rome. In the future, the exhibits are scheduled to be transferred to the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Egyptian Civilization Museum. We will introduce the main exhibits. In the Luxor chapter, we explained that Ramses II had erased the names of past kings, but measures were taken to prevent this gate from being erased. Instead of simply painting the murals, the inside was erased and filled with material to paint the murals. By doing so, the murals would continue to appear one after another, like a Kintaro candy, even if they were erased. However, all the filling inside fell out first, so it was ultimately a failure. This is Queen Hatshepsut. This is the queen we explained at the Hatshepsut Mortuary Temple in Luxor. She was the first female pharaoh to hold power. Many of her murals have been scraped off, so it’s rare to see her face. This is Narmer’s palette. She was the first king in ancient Egypt to unify Upper and Lower Egypt. This marked the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period. Narmer is depicted wearing the white crown, the symbol of Upper Egypt, and stamping on papyrus, the symbol of Lower Egypt, like the god Horus, as he conquers. He is depicted stamping on and conquering like a god . This is a stone statue of King Djoser, who was the first to build a pyramid. He was a king in the early Old Kingdom, when the power of the pharaohs was strong. After the pyramid he built, the huge pyramid at Giza was built after much trial and error. It’s amazing that a stone statue from about 4,500 years ago remains. It was discovered inside the pyramid, and it was placed in a way that it was facing the North Star. This is King Khufu, who built the largest pyramid of the three great miramids at Giza. Not many pyramids that can be identified as King Khufu have been discovered. Even though he built such a huge pyramid, his bronze statue is so small. This is King Khafre, who also built the pyramids at Giza. The stone statue is made of a hard rock called gneiss, and you can see the high level of technology that can be used to process hard rock to this extent. This is King Menkaure, who built the last of the three great pyramids at Giza. He is said to have established a unified Egyptian bureaucracy and writing system. There are goddesses on both sides, which represent the end of war and the creation of a peaceful world. This statue of a scribe is also famous. In ancient Egypt, scribal work was an elite job. The eyes, made of crystal, copper, quartz, etc., are said to look almost alive, and show the high level of technology at the time. This is the throne discovered in the famous tomb of King Tutankhamun. It was not allowed to take photos of Tutankhamun’s mask after his death or his golden coffin, but some of the grave goods were displayed outside the no-photography area. It is believed that this chair was actually used by Tutankhamun. The painting shows the queen anointing Tutankhamun while he is seated in a chair. More than 5,000 grave goods have been excavated from the tomb of King Tutankhamun, which we introduced in the Luxor edition. Among them are trumpets, board games, and even ancient food. This is one of the highlights of the museum, so please check it out. There is a gift shop inside the museum, which is a little pricey, so please stop by if you have time. Next is the Egyptian Civilization Museum. It is about a 15-minute drive from Cairo Tower. Mummies of past pharaohs are on display here, making it a must-see spot. Some of the exhibits from the Archaeological Museum are also scheduled to be moved here. We were able to enter after strict baggage inspection. There was a cloakroom, so we could leave our large luggage there. Unfortunately, photography was prohibited in the mummy area. However, the mummies of the most famous pharaohs, Ramses II, Seti I, Seti II, Thutmose I, Thutmose IV, Akhenaten, and their queens were also on display. I was able to see the mummies of the most famous pharaohs, so it was the most impressive. Above the mummy exhibit, there was an exhibit about the history of ancient Egypt and the Islamic period. This is a tank from that time. I do n’t know if it’s a stain or a blood stain, but there are quite a few vivid marks. This is a statue of Akhenaten, the father of Tutankhamun. Realistic sculptures were popular during this period, so the face is more realistic than other stone statues. A pulpit from the Muhammad Ali Mosque, which I introduced earlier, was also on display. This is a scene of bread being made. Bread was the staple food in ancient Egypt. Remains of bread making have also been discovered near the pyramids of Giza. Apparently they put dough made from wheat or barley into a pot and steamed it. At the pyramid construction site, one pot was able to bake 9,500 calories of bread. This is Tutankhamun’s underwear. A large amount of underwear was also found among the grave goods, and some of them are on display here. Personally, I think the mummies were very impressive, so I recommend you visit. Now, let me introduce some recommended restaurants. First, I would like to introduce “Dahabiya Cairo,” where you can enjoy a meal while enjoying a Nile cruise. The boarding point was near Cairo Tower. The boarding point was inside a restaurant called “SEA GULL.” There are two cruises, one in the evening and one at night, which you can choose when making a reservation. It may be better to make a reservation early once you have decided on the day you want to participate. Many companies offer Nile cruises. Some include belly dancing, and others just for enjoying the night view and scenery. Most are relatively inexpensive, so look for a cruise ship that you like. The interior is luxurious, and you can wait until it is time to board the ship. While waiting, I had mango juice. It was time to board the ship. The ship was beautiful, and the interior was also clean. The table had a drawer, which could also be used as a table. The food was placed here . When we boarded, we were given a wet towel. Now we are off. This time, we had an all-you-can-drink plan. The price varies depending on the main dish, and you can choose from 950EGP, 1200EGP, or 1500EGP. There is a fee for advance reservations, and the price was about 3500 to 4000 yen per person. They also performed on the cruise ship. Due to copyright restrictions, they cannot play the songs, but they performed several famous songs from overseas. They played cheerfully, so it was very fun. The area along the Nile is home to many luxury hotels in Cairo. We could see the Sheraton Hilton, the Four Seasons Ritz-Carlton, and more. It was so cold at night that we couldn’t resist ordering hot cocoa. They also lend you a blanket if you are cold. I visited in May, but it was chilly at night, so it might be a good idea to bring something to put on. The food didn’t come for about 30-40 minutes after we set sail, so be careful about that. First, we were served salad and pickles as appetizers. After that, cream soup and bread were served. We also ordered a mojito. Egypt is an Islamic country, so alcohol is not generally served in restaurants in the city. If you want to drink alcohol, try to drink it at a hotel or airport. It’s cold, so hot food goes well with it. The main course was oriental food, with meat, steamed vegetables, and seasoned rice. Everything was delicious and there was quite a lot of volume. Even an adult man had a hard time finishing it, so the portions may be a little too much. For dessert, there were four types: cheesecake, lemon tart, creme brulée, and brownie. They were also celebrating birthdays. It seems that they will celebrate if you let them know in advance. You can see the beautiful night view along the Nile, so if you’re interested, please join us. Next is “ABOU TAREK” where they serve delicious koshari. It’s located about 6 minutes by car from Cairo Tower. I’m sorry to everyone, but when I visited here, I had food poisoning and couldn’t record a video. So I’ll introduce it mostly with pictures. However, my friend praised this place for being cheap and very delicious, so I would like to introduce it to you. Koshari is a traditional Egyptian food. It is made with white rice, macaroni, lentils, etc., topped with crispy fried onions, and eaten with tomato sauce with garlic and vinegar flavor. The seasoning seems to vary slightly depending on the restaurant. This koshari was quite delicious. It’s a dish that’s like a lump of carbohydrates, but it’s a dish that I would like you to try at least once. The restaurant was visited by a wide range of people, from locals to tourists. The price is also quite cheap at 30 EGP. The portion is quite large, so it was enough for two people to share. As an aside, the Japanese couple next to me shared their medicine with me when they saw that I was feeling unwell. The medicine was very effective, so it was a great help. I didn’t get his contact information, so I’d like to thank him here. Thank you very much. It’s the best value for money restaurant, so if you visit Cairo, please be sure to visit it. I’ll also introduce the hotel I stayed at in Cairo. This time I stayed at the Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo. It’s about a 6-minute drive from Cairo Tower, and it’s right next to the Egyptian Museum. The hotel was clean and spacious. When you enter by car, your trunk is checked, and you have to go through a metal detector at the hotel entrance, so security is excellent. The check-in staff were also very kind and chatted with me casually. There was also a small gift shop in the lobby. This time, the room was on the 10th floor. The room was simple and a little larger than a Japanese business hotel. The room next door was my friend’s room, so I thought it would be a connecting room, but it was blocked by a sofa, so the rooms could not be connected. There was also a work desk and a large TV. There was also an apple prepared as a welcome sweet here. Two bottles of water were replenished every day. Coffee, tea, etc. were free to drink. Snacks and drinks in the refrigerator were charged. The view from the room was not so good. There was an iron, hangers, bathrobes, etc. in the closet. There was a wide variety of hangers, including one for ties. It was small, but there was a place like a luggage rack. The sink in the bathroom was a little small, so it was difficult to put things there. There was a hair dryer built in. The toilet and shower room were together, but it was a little far away, so I was glad. The shower room was clean and the water pressure was good. Breakfast was buffet style, and various dishes were prepared. The salad bar had vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. They also had cheese and ham. For hot meals, there was meat, tarragon, something like a fried quiche, and bacon. There was a dish using artichokes, sausages, tomatoes and mushrooms, something like rice and curry, and potatoes and soup. This was also a bean soup or curry-like dish. These seem to be ingredients that are eaten as toppings on curry or soup. There was also a variety of breads. It seems that the staff will bake it for you if you ask. There were also muffins and sandwiches. There were also jams, honey, and desserts. There were many Middle Eastern sweets, many of which were soaked in sweet syrup. There was also a wide variety of fruits and juices. There was yogurt, low-fat milk, corn flakes, and more. The breakfast was substantial. However, prices are low in Egypt, so I think it would be much cheaper to eat at a restaurant outside. This time, it cost about 14,000 yen for one night with breakfast, which is a bit expensive compared to the average hotel price in Cairo. Accommodations in Cairo vary widely, but many places that are too cheap can be noisy or have hygiene concerns, so try to find one that suits your travel style. So, what did you think of this “Cairo and Giza Sightseeing Edition”? There were plenty of places you’d want to see at least once in your life, such as the pyramids and mosques. Check it out along with the previous Luxor edition. I hope this video will be of some use to you on your travels.
