Some Hidden Delights of Cairo

    I love Cairo. It invigorates me. It awakens all my senses – the blast of car horns and Muezzin's call to prayer over tinny loudspeakers. The soaring, spiraling 10,000 and more minarets that pierce the sooty sky. The diesel fumes, apple shisha, and hot oil from shawarma stands. I have walked its chaotic, colourful streets during more than a dozen visits… and this 1500 year city never gets old.
