The Best Tacos I've Had Outside of Fiji Are in the Last Place You'd Expect

Cairo: Everything I Wasn't Expecting and Everything It Gave Me Anyway
I landed in Cairo and someone immediately tried to take me somewhere. Not aggressively. Smoothly. The kind of smooth that makes you feel rude for saying no - like they're doing you a favor and you're the problem for not accepting it.
