    Well, I was in Jerusalem and I enjoyed tremendously but I
    and many travellers hated Cairo. There are good Egyptians of
    course, especially in Alexandra, but just be careful when u
    r in Cairo because they will scam you for instance to stay
    at their hotels by saying that the one you are looking for
    is closed, etc. Also, they will ask what nationality u r
    everywhere u go. Good luck
