Africa’s largest
city with a population of over 18 million, Cairo
is a chaotic mixture of sights, sounds and smells.
It is heaving with life, volatile, polluted and
boisterous, with an intensity that both exhausts
and invigorates the visitor.
It is also distinctive
with its ancient monuments in juxtaposition to
the modern and cosmopolitan. The congested streets
of Islamic Cairo are full of donkey carts, traders
and mosques, while camels weave their way haughtily
between the crumbling pyramids on the outskirts.
Taxis clamour for attention
and pedestrians elbow their way past busy coffee
houses, where those seeking a brief escape from
the hustle and bustle sit sipping at a strong
cup of coffee while contemplating the smoke rings
of a ‘hubbly bubbly’ water pipe –
in true Egyptian style.
