This donkey was dragging around some fuul, the staple of quick Egyptian food.

We would eat that pretty soon, but for the first night, we went for some store-bought food.

After showering up, we went out to grab some dinner, but first, some fresh orange juice.

Walking back to Manuel's place with some beers and noticing his car, a Lada Niva.

I wandered with the Dutch boys until we found this hole-in-the-wall cafe serving up fresh falafel for breakfast. Falafel is ubiquitous across the Middle East and is a fried patty or ball of chickpeas (garbanzo) with other beans, herbs and spices. It's usually very cheap and enough food for 3 breakfasts cost just LE 4.50 (75¢).

The cafe had some other typical food such as fuul (fava beans), roasted eggplant and french fries. Boiled eggs and pickled vegetables were also available.

Egypt's currency, the Egyptian Pound, denoted as LE (French for livre égyptienne). With an exchange rate of USD $1 = LE 5.95, this LE 50 note is worth $8.40.

Even though the city was founded more than 2,000 years ago, it's been inhabited ever since and has changed with the times. This view characterizes the 20th century vision of towered apartment blocks for their efficiency in space, while neglecting the design's flaws in blending in with the landscape.
