Try to watch one of Adel Imam's recent movies in translation. Also a recent movie called "Taxi" in Arabic, but likely can be found with subtitles (I saw it on a plane). Do not think you will get a real idea by watching "Cairo Time" because I haven't seen anybody here that looks like Alexander Siddig, and I didn't think the movie gave any kind of impression of what it is like here. You can get a lot of ideas about antiquities by watching the myriad National Geographic and Discovery productions on various places in Egypt. - Jul 2011
Don't miss: "Egypt's Golden Empire", by PBS DVD Video, available on Netflix as DVD or streaming video. Take the time to watch all 160 min of all the episodes. The explanations of all the tour guides will make so much more sense if you do. - Sep 2010
