Wander the Streets

Qasr al-Eini Street is the place to be for trendy coffee and tea shops and to make conversation with the fashionable Egyptians who spend their time there. Corniche El Nile is another popular street to wander along as it is occupied by some of the best hotels in the nation.

Enjoy a Felucca Tour

These traditional Arab boats still ply the waters of the Nile River and they gather at the Four Seasons Hotel, offering their cruise services to any interested tourist.

Of course, this is Egypt, so expect to haggle a bit over the price. Remember that it's not an insult to haggle in Egypt, it's part of the business culture and being a good negotiator will get you a good deal of respect. Just make sure you're being respectful in return.

The Egyptian Parliament

Garden City is also home to the Egyptian Parliament and the accompanying museum. The history of Egypt's parliamentary government is told within the walls of the museum and, of course, the movers and shakers in the current government do their business here.
