To Cairo with Love


This post was meant to be written in Cairo before leaving but something was holding me back...regardless of what i might say at times like Cairo is jammed, i hate its traffic, pollution bla bla bla, Cairo remains very special to me
Today i was having lunch with my lebanese friend and i started bragging about dear old Cairo just when he said yeah but that was loooong back, it's not as u describe it anymore...
But no I said, that's the beauty of Cairo, even though it's crowded, poor at places, not as clean ...it's still and will remain a charming place...its beauty never fades
It's indiscribable ...a city filled with controversy..filthy rich and extremely poor, elegant yet vulgar, new and old...u name it whatever ur taste it Cairo will entertain u...
Will not even talk about people and my personal experience there...I had a rough time at first but people where all around me to ease the pain.
In this context Sameh n Ola u r the best, Ashraf n Nermine thx for being u..
While searching for a pic to download i really didnt know which one to add?
Cairo is sooooo full, pharaonic Cairo, islamic Cairo, new Cairo, Seqoya our favourite hangout...hmmm what?? well in the absence of a seqoya pic that would the place right i chose Khan El Khalili ...i can almost smell the fresh spices when remembering the market...i love Cairo and i can go on and on about it and i still can't explain why i left it despite all this love... again another controversy can't live with and can't live without u.....luv u
