Cairo is Africa's biggest city and one of the great cities of the world, where donkeys compete for road space with beaten up Peugeot 504s and clapped out Ladas. The first thing we did in Cairo was head to the market to meet the people. They were as expected - chaotic and eclectic. It's not everyday someone chops a camel head up with an axe right next to the cafe where you are eating. But the clothes seemed cheap and the spices exotic. And every deal seemed to start with a chat, a smoke, and a cup of coffee before business was discussed, which makes sense.
