This strategic first-edition guide from Cairo local Sarah Smierciak balances unique, authentic experiences with the practical advice travelers need to navigate modern Egypt

The book examines how international actors, particularly from the West, have contributed to inequality and elite capture in Egypt by promoting market liberalization. It employs an interdisciplinary approach to illustrate how these foreign influences have enabled local elites to benefit disproportionately from the country's economic reforms, revealing the complexities of global economic interactions and their impact on social equity.
