The biggest, most chaotic, fastest set of road crossings you'll possibly have ever encountered. It's good to cross the streets here, but be careful and be ready to run. No one obeys the lights, and sometimes the lights don't work.

Around Tahrir is the American University in Cairo, a huge government building, some shitty hostels and some decent cafes. One in particular, Ali Baba, has a bit of a hackneyed name but is famous and was the favourite of the recent Novel laureate/Egyptian novelist who died, Naguib Mahfouz. I didn't get around to going to Ali Baba. There are other good outdoor cafes in the area, too.
