Cairo 2023_2

On the street of Cairo_1: My first impression of Cairo when I first visited、The ocher scenery that covers the city、cats everywhere、It is a car that is active in active service even though it is worn out.。The Zamalek district where the hotel where I stayed is the west end of Cairo city、It is a relatively high-class area on the strait of the Nile River.、If you enter a little alley, a building like ruins suddenly appears。The atmosphere is like a town in India that I once traveled to.、I also get the impression of the old town of Paris that I visited a few years ago.。Just like the name "Middle East" located between Europe and Asia、A mix of both essences、like you've visited before、It also had a unique atmosphere unlike any other city.。
