Described by The New York Times as indispenable, Cairo: The Practical Guide fills a vital niche for expatriates and Cairenes alike. Revised and updated for 2000, the Guide includes a cornucopia of facts on prices, neighborhoods, schools, work and business opportunities, and cultural pursuits. Formatted to address the needs of independently minded tourists as well as residents, this edition features an alphabetical directory of goods, services, and interests subdivided by neighborhood; a language section on the basics of Cairene Arabic; details on shopping and sightseeing from a residents perspective; and a separate map booklet.
