Have you ever truly admired the beauty of the city we live in?
Unfortunately, most of us don't actually go and see the Cairo sites unless we have a friend in town visiting. It's only then we start to appreciate how amazing and historic Cairo really is.
If you're in the mood to photograph, learn a little, or even go for a safe evening walk in the core of our culture, there's an opportunity this weekend!
This Thursday, July 7th, there will be a walking tour of Islamic Cairo, held by Dr. Tarek Swelim and Ahmed Seddik.
