A Walk Around Old Cairo

Let's face it, since moving to Egypt, I've hardly blogged. I really want to get into it again, but I'm so far behind. So, I'm just going to pick up from this point forward. I may come back and write about what we did for the past 4-5 months, but maybe not. So, here we go!

Today, I was lucky enough to be able to take a walking tour of Old Cairo. A guy that I work with is a wonderful photographer, and he sets up these walking tours occasionally and invites other teachers to join him. It's neat to walk around with a small group of people who share an interest in taking photos.

Approximately ten of us started at the base of the Citadel and walked the streets of Old Cairo. We then we went inside the Mosque of Al Rifai and the Mosque of Sultan Hasan. After that we walked the streets to the Bab Zuweila, the last remaining southern gate of the wall of the Old City of Cairo. Then we walked through the Tentmakers Market.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our walk.
