Not only the noise is annoying especially in the center of the city, but more serious The air pollution ,according to wikipedia
There are over 2,000,000 cars on the streets of Cairo, 60% of which are over 10 years old
what makes matter worse and the real pain for Cairo and almost all Egypt is the very poor dispersion factor because of lack of rain
without any exaggeration ,the fewest amount of rain on the planet falls in Egypt
that is why about 95% of Egypt land is a desert !!
another kind of pollution is land pollution, Cairo produces 10,000 tons of rubbish each day
The Cairo Cleaning and Beautification Agency was founded to collect and recycle the rubbish but it is not perfect and the results are not satisfying........
What a City !! :)

true.....and If the stranger not alone and being with Egyptian (friend,or married there) that will make the costs less ...as no way for a seller to cheat him-her ,selling something with a price more than normal.....
Though food is cheap ...but I advice to pay attention to the manufactured food in Egypt ....I don't want to give details as it is long topic .....

the life in villages is slow indeed , some women stay hours for preparing a meal !!!! due to its complicated steps ..... in order to result in delicious taste...
some people criticize that ,arguing that food doesn't deserve such big waste of time to be prepared..
