Farewell to Cairo

We stayed in the Zamelek district of Cairo and there are a few establishments there that cater to Foreigners like this bookstore that sells English books. Most evenings we retreated here to have some sweet tea and to browse through their books. We had dinner at the Egyptian restaurant across the street from it, a very popular establishment, always full, of locals and visitors. That was how we spent our evenings in Cairo. Then we go back to our room, shower and write in our journals or at least that's what I did. I make it a habit to record the day's events the same evening so the memory is still fresh in my mind.

This was our last evening, we had just come back from Wadi Natrun. We told our taxi driver that we would like to get some 'kushari'. So we bought some 'kushari' to go and was then eating on the balcony of our hotel. It was a great trip, one I'll always remember..... and will return to Cairo and Egypt soon.
