Cairo

Cairo is a the capital of Egypt. It is a very large and constantly congested city.

When the Academy of Free Travel established a hitchhiking base in Cairo in Winter 2008/09, they did not hitchhike from the city itself, as it is too sprawling. Equipped with a schedule of cheap trains (for which one must go directly to the train, for ticket booths will not sell to foreigners), they traveled by rail to nearby locales and hitched from there.

East to Suez, Sinai, Israel

Instead of trying to hitch from Cairo, go to the small train station next to the Ain Shams metro station, take a morning train to Suez. One can try to hitch east from there. The Cairo-Suez train runs every three hours and costs about 5 Egyptian pounds.
