I've been to: - Frankfurt, Germany - Kuwait City, Kuwait - London, England - Cairo, Egypt - Dubai City, Duabi - One other country Cairo is definitely the coolest place I've been to. Went twice, and it gives me the warm fuzzies just thinking about it. I also went to Alexandria, Sharm El Sheik, and Taba while I was there. All beautiful places, especially Taba. Saw the pyramids, went to all the different markets, etc. etc...one thing to take away is that I'm of the mind that you should dig deep when you go traveling. Go for the smaller hotels and try to integrate yourself within the culture as much as possible. It gives you a more down-to-Earth view of where you've been and an idea of what the people are like. I love traveling, haha.
One of my favorite places I have been is (or was) Damascus. I have yet to visit Cairo, but I wonder how the two stack up. I'm a big city person, so I loved the narrow alleys, crazy traffic, even crazier taxi drivers, the awful smells and the delicious food, and the businesses that are open all night long. And even though you have all this, you can feel history all around you.
