It is a difficult city to manage if you are traveling alone. Uber works really well and is very inexpensive. I went from New Cairo to Giza for about $20 USD. Next time I would for sure book a guide. They are reasonable and you see a lot more.

Definitely modernizing this new sector of Egypt helped transition the stereotypical Cairo city into a more delightful infrastructurelayout and way of life.
