The streets in Cairo represents a huge
daze even for those who don`t see them for the very first time.
It is the place where the old and the modern meets, the
traditional and new coexist. You can see street coffee shops
where people enjoy their morning coffee or smoke a pipe, many
bakeries with appetizing traditional products, markets, shopping
centers and bazaars, juice shops that immediately prepares
juices from fresh fruits, craftsman working in marble or just
selling their products, play centers for children, in very happy
colors, yellow cabs and donkeys, people resting and people
hurried to resolve their business. An important street is the
Azhar Street that makes the connection between the Salah Salem
Street and the Opera Square in Cairo’s downtown. The Saydena El
Hussein Mosque is situated on the other side street. Also, there
is Khan El Khalili, the most important bazaar in Cairo, with
shops with souvenirs and coffee shops. The Kornish El Nile
Street is significant for the Cairo’s traffic. The Street of
Salah Salem is a famous street that starts in Heliopolis and
leads to the Islamic Cairo. If you want to feel like making a
trip in the Islamic Egypt history, then don’t miss the Al Mui'z
Street, the place of the Islamic monuments. There are numerous
onion and garlic shops on this street, and when the garlic
market ends, you can see and visit the Mosque of Al Hakim Be'amr
Allah. The Al Mui'z Le Din Allah Street ends with Bab El Naser,
Gate of Conquests, Bab El Futuah and Gate of Victory, which
represents the gates and walls from north. Walking by the crowed
streets of Cairo it is an incredible experience that you will
not forget. |
