Dichotomy

Accommodations for the first 2 nights, while with the client: Uber-swank 18th floor of the Conrad, by the Nile. Hooray Hilton status! The view:


Accommodations for at least the next 2-3 weeks while solo: 7th floor hostel in downtown Cairo, by the, um, road. The view:


The downtown hostel is literally less than 1/10th the price of the hotel, and definitely more in my budget range, now that I'm on my own. Not a bad little place either, once you get past the endlessly dripping shower and the old-skool elevator.

Next step, the hunt for a flat!
