Cairo Web Log
Notes from the Field
Short observations and impressions from the Cairolive team: what we saw and what caught our eye in Cairo.
The scent of jasmine from the sidewalk café on Zamalek, the unofficial perfume of Cairo spring.
Spent the afternoon at the Egyptian Museum watching the restoration team uncover a 3,000-year-old bracelet. History is patient.
The queue at Abu Tarek this afternoon: 8 tourists, 12 locals, 1 very persistent cat. The koshary remains eternal.
Saw a street vendor in Downtown selling vintage Egyptian film posters. Picked up a 1972 Shoukry Sarhan. Frame pending.
Just watched 12 startup pitches at Greek Campus. The one doing AI for agricultural water management won the night.
The sunset from the Cairo Tower today, smog and all, still the best view in the city. No filter needed.
