OK :-) Interesting feedback I got by comments here, facebook, and email or text msgs LOL! I am so excited and everyone is telling me not to have high hopes, but I cant help it!
The pyramids (along with the horseback riding) and the museums are a MUST for me, but to sum up all the suggestions I got by a considerable amount of peeps, I picked the following...
- Buddha Bar - Sangria - La Bodega (If I get the chance to pass by all three but I dont think so, so I am gonna go for Buddha Bar as a first choice out of the three)
- Abu El Sid was also highly recommended
- I am definitely gonna pass by AlHussein and Khan AlKhalili and most likley will go to Najeeb Mahfouz Cafe au contrair to ElFishawi Cafe
- Four Seasons - Nile (for all kind of food and shopping) my friend also suggested the Thai restaurant at El Dokki Four Seasons, so will see how it goes :-)
- Anyone heard of Thomas Pizza? My half Egyptian friend said its "Egyptian Style".. interesting :-)
- Ghash is the best place to try foul (fava beans) and falafel. Its dirty but yummy, thats what I keep hearing. Its in Sayyeda Zeinab and I am up for the risk! I dont think my friend/coworker will try it though LOL
- Ohhh and I hear a lot about Abu Tarek's Kushari (SO MANY SUGGESTIONS!) hehehehe
- City Star Mall
- The Felucca Ride in the Nile at sunset was also highly recommended!
- Fatimid Cairo, where I can see Darweesh (Sufism, and men dancing in skirts)
Thats a long to-do list for my short stay! I typed them down in no specific order of preference! I wish I get to do all of the above but I doubt it... ohhh and I'm also gonna meet my friend Kelly whom I have not seen in over 10 years!
UPDATE: I added some picture plans (Thanks Dalia :-*)... Sorry I stole your Bayt Al Kiritliyya picture hehehe

Thomas Pizza is owned by Omar Al sherief very nice pizza! Its located in Al Mohandesen at Shahaab street, also in Masr al jadida.
You should try a Leb. resturant Called Tabboula, its located near the american embassy at Latin america street in Garden City.
you should give it a try!
I miss cairo! enjoy the trip
Just for info, I have never been to Cairo, nor tried the place, so if you do not like, not my fault, but if you do, I will take all the credit ;p
inshallah ull have a great time!
