Benha is a town about 50km from Cairo in the Nile River delta, far from the tourist trail. You get to see the Egypt where the real people live and most people here never see foreigners. On the way in the minibus you'll see the working class suburbs of Cairo, the fields that mark the start of the delta, farmers in their distinctive outfits and the wonder that is population growth.

Take the Metro to Koliet El-Zeraa station and then outside the station take a minibus to Benha.

Shubra is a typical working class suburb. It's not particularly aesthetic but is very functional and a good insight into how most people live in Cairo.

Catch the Metro to Rod el-Farag.
