The original championship website welcomed visitors with a guide to Cairo and Egypt, which you can still read on the About Cairo & Egypt and General Information pages. These articles take it further: the essential sights of the capital, trips to Luxor, Aswan, Sinai and the Red Sea, and the practical details of visas, money and getting around.
There is also a guide written for cycling fans travelling to the velodrome in Nasr City, and a page of Egyptian Arabic phrases to make friends at the track and in the bazaar.
