Cairo street food & markets

After the pyramids and our two taxi rides earlier, we ventured out into the centre city and its endless markets. They are literally kilometres long and walked quite a few of those kilometres. They go in phases, loads of food shops, then lots that do mobile phones, then lots of lighting shops, and so it goes on with a multitude of categories.

Note: A long time afterwards, the kids told us that they had found Cairo very intimidating. Later, in similar circumstances, they were unphased as they got used to chaos, hoards of people, noisy busting shops, and hustlers wanting to sell you their bargains.Les mer
