Only in Cairo....

Today I had a great time at iftar. I met up with Luli, Tom, Purvi, Kenny, and Nisrin. After we ate we went to Misr El Kadima (Old Cairo). It is the Islamic Cairo. Ironically, Tom (a.k.a The Australian) had to show me and Luli how to get there....
The place is just amazing. It is very close to Khan el Khalili. The building are amazing...
We went and sat in this building that is as old as America!
This building used to be used as a kind of hotel for the traveling merchants. It is the most beautiful building I have ever seen! The symmetry of the architecture was breathtaking. The mashrabaya windows I think are beautiful.
I felt this very historical feeling. I wonder what it would be like to stay there, I wonder how many people have passed through this building. I wonder what life was like back then. I wonder the stories that this building has seen.
I am in awe of how beautiful Cairo is.
There is so much of it that I have not seen or experienced.. I really want to see more of it.
I think I will recruit my Australian tour guide and see what Cairo is really like.
See why this country brings so many tourists and historians.
I love Egypt more than I can explain.. and today I fell so much more in love with it!
