Cairo

Winter in Egypt

Coming back from Siwa I had a few days to spend in Cairo, guided by Emma who took me around the Islamic Cairo.

January 29th, 2013

We stopped by a pillowcase shop to look and before we knew it we were drinking tea and taking over their jobs.

A typical storefront in Islamic Cairo, with a wonderful shopkeeper on his chair and with his tea.
