One of the historical areas of Cairo, Darb al-Ahmar offers the opportunity to get an idea of how Cairo must have been in the late Middle Ages.
Everywhere, people are out on the streets and in the side alleys, to smoke a waterpipe or shisha, to carry wares to their shop, to sit on a chair at a corner of the street and chat with friends, to be on the way to a mosque for prayer, to count the money earned that day on a stone at the streetside, to sell tea with a big silvery mobile tea bottle on their back. Sounds come from everywhere: the click-clack of hoofs on the asphalt, a sewing machine in a workshop, the radio of a barber, the scraping of sandpaper on furniture, the humming of voices. It is easy to imagine that things have not changed much in the last centuries here.
