Travel to Egypt may be in my future. I have looked around for info on the internet, but has anyone been to Egypt? In particular Cairo?

More specificaly, has anyone played poker in any of the casinos in Egypt?

All the info I have found about the area makes it sound like a lovely place, peaceful and friendly. Is this really the case?

I haven't been to Egypt but some friends of mine have and they had a great time. They did not however gamble in any casinos. They were there for the beaches. I think they did some snorkeling and diving. They're into that stuff.

They did go on and on about how relaxed it was there though. They said the people were the most peaceful and friendly they had encountered anywhere in the world.

For whatever that's worth. Hope you get to go and you have fun.
