Egypt travel guide - Cairo Outskirts & the Delta (PDF Chapter)
Typical Egypt itineraries rarely take in the area right around Cairo but, thanks to modern transportation, it’s easy to get from Cairo’s confines to open green fields; ancient sites you’ll have all to yourself; modern Coptic monasteries; and the not-for-the-squeamish action of a live camel market with camels that come from deepest Sudan.
Coverage includes: Desert Environs, Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur, Al-Fayoum, Wadi Natrun, The Nile Delta, Birqash Camel Market, Nile Barrages, Tanta, Zagazig & Bubastis and Tanis.
