Lived in Alexandria for a summer semester studying Arabic back in 2010. Campus was at Alexandria University near the Library (Bibliotheca Alexandrina).

Went to many events, live concerts, with Egyptian counterparts and my American crew. It was also the World Cup in South Africa at that time too so that was dope to be there and watching the games every evening in primetime.

Dorms were near the Smouha neighborhood. Hung out in Sporting neighborhood a lot. Favorite spot to study and have nice Wi-Fi was Clay Cafe.

I lost 15 pounds during that time. I ate good though maybe it was being away from our food here in the USA for awhile. I did play soccer every week and there was a stadium nearby campus where I would workout at.

Aside from Alex, I went to Cairo about 3 times. My program had a week long trip to Sinai which involved climbing Mount Sinai, going to the small resort of Dahab, and then going to Sharm Al-Sheikh (with all the Eurotrash there).

My second to last week, I went to Siwa Oasis in the Sahara near the Libyan border. Highly recommend it.

They do at tourist sites but if you just ignore them and keep it moving they leave you alone. Those bad reviews come from uptight cacs

help me out breh

should I do a tour or just take an Uber to the pyramids?
Do not try to uber or rent a car. As a tourist you need to do everything with a tour guide. You're not going to be able to get by on uber's and tourists shouldn't drive there at all because of the style of driving. There are literally no traffic lights. Theres alot of police and military check points which are there to protect the sites and the language barrier will work against you. You also need permits to visit certain parts and the tour guides and companies will already have that situated
