    I lived there for almost 3 months. Long story, but I befriended two Egyptian Coptics (original Egyptians related to the Phoenicians), non-muslim Catholics. I stayed in their ethnic neighborhood with them, a place called Ezbet El-Nakhl, http://www.metropla.net/af/cairo… - I knew them from Namibia (teaching colleagues). I have a bunch of photos online if you want to see them. It's up to you. I was treated quite nicely when I was there. Of course this was in 1999 but it was also during Ramadan and things were a bit crazy, like no food places were open until after 5 PM and shit like that. But all-in-all beautiful people and great country. It's quite liberal for an Arab country.
