About
Place Khartoum is a square in Alexandria's Azarita district, facing the Faculty of Medicine at Alexandria University. It was named in 1898 to mark the recapture of Khartoum in Sudan, and the granite column at its centre was inspected by antiquities officials in 2016 as part of a citywide effort to document and register Alexandria's street monuments.

Photographs and artwork
Photographers and artists of Cairo
We are telling the story of how Cairo shops for food: the chains, the baqals, the kiosks, and the map of where they all are. It is a story made of numbers, and it is missing your pictures. Send us photographs or artwork of the grocery experience in this city. Your name is on everything we publish.
For example
- Someone buying tomatoes.
- A woman comparing two packets of pasta.
- Or surprise us. You know this city better than any brief we could write.
