I've been to Cairo a couple of times and it's one of my favourite cities in the world being so vibrant and colourful. It's a blend of Africa, Asia and Europe and fantastic but don't expect a sanitised Disney World experience. I recommend a visit to the Khan-al-Khalili the largest covered market in Africa and while you're there have a coffee and shisha at Al Fishwari's cafe which has been open 24 hours a day for well over 150 years. I stayed in a private residence so can't really say which hotel is best. Enjoy your trip, I'm jealous
