Strolling the Streets of Old Cairo

We were going to write about Coptic (Christain ) Cairo today, but since we had such a great time walking the streets, we decided instead to just share some of the extraordinary images we experienced while strolling along some of Cairo's oldest market streets.

Heading to KFC for the 3-piece meal deal.

You need carrots? I make you good price!
The Yam Man

Damn, stuck in traffic again!
Kushary, kushary, kushary!

Coal for sale!
Picking out the best fruit for sale at the market.

A great day of seeing, hearing, and unfortunately smelling Old Cairo. After a long day of hiking the streets, we grabbed a taxi back to our hotel to get ready for the night train to Luxor.

Tomorrow: The Temple of Luxor
