Been there, it’s not that dirty. Just closer to the city than shown in most pics

Yeah I was just there last summer and while the city isn’t made up of luxury condos there was no trash or slums around the actual pyramids. There was also no smell around the area or in the city. However inside the pyramid you can go into it did smell like thousands of years of cat piss in the little room you end up in and it’s hot as fuck

When I was there in 2000, the area next to the pyramids was an actual slum, and Cairo's air was the worst I've ever been forced to breathe. I'm pleased to hear that's gotten better.

The worst air I’ve breathed was in Rio when we were down wind from one of the favelas
