Day 24 - Cairo - City of Life and Death

New and old, live and dead

This looks like an old run down part of the city but it's actually a cemetery. Tombs that look like houses spread out into a whole neighbourhood that sits completely still in the middle of the busy city.

Silent city

No faces at these windows

Not far from here we went to a shisha cafe where old men who were very much alive played games, smoked and drank tea. This was a good location as we needed more shots of people.

We also had an adventure involving the Cairo police today, which I'll tell you about when I'm back. For now, here's a nice photo of the sunset.
