Most of buildings in Downtown are reminiscent of Paris in 1870s. And at some point declared the most beautiful city on the world in 1920. The "Paris on the Nile" has a charm, even with the neglect and the deterioration due to climate.
Rupy provided a panoramic of Talaat Harb Square. Stunning. (Click on the picture to get a better view) Just stunning! I need to stress that this picture is licensed under CC by - nc - nd.
Café Riche. A city trademark. Food is reasonable, prices a bit high, service not so fast...but it is a nice sitting area. Ask for Tony. He is quite a character... The life of the place.
When we were there a guy stopped us to tell us the story of the guy in the statue. Yeah, some foreigners know this trick. We just listened for a while about "Mohamed Talaat Pasha Harb, the founder of Banque Misr...".
Anyhow, We moved on and took a couple of more pics...Here you go.
American University in Cairo - Greek Campus.
Marché de Bab El Louq.
Hamada baladi cafe? Is that the name of it...
Groppi. Had nice ice cream (mango and strawberry) but I dislike the minimum charge!
Words are not enough to express how I feel about what is going on in Egypt right now. I just feel proud of the Egyptian people. Ana Masrya kaman! Horreya!
