Tips from locals
Egypt’s most famous Square, for its historical and political background, and for being the most important central hub in Cairo
Formerly Ismailia Square in honour of the 19th c. ruler who developed Cairo into "the Paris of the Middle East" and site of 20th/21st c. political rallies & clashes with police.

There is a reason why the revolution took place there. It's the center where all trade takes place and the original Cairo architecture is located. Go for a walk in the downtown area and find a hidden pub at the base of a building or on top of an old hotel for a classic taste of Cairo.
