shopping + cairo
I got back to my hotel in Cairo around 5pm. I showered, dropped off my bag and headed out into town to go shopping. Before leaving, I promised Mama Zandi, our elderly neighbor who is originally from South Africa, that I'd pick her up a new kaftan! Here's me about to enter a huge mall that was entirely comprised of stores selling women's clothes!

shopping + cairo
As soon as I got back to my room, I jotted down a whole bunch of notes so I wouldn't forget any of the details of my museum "experience" and then decided to lay down for another nap. Cairo during the day is extremely hot, busy and soooo noisy and loud and a ten minute walk through town is enough to send your body into total sensory overload.

I woke up a little before midnight and decided to check out Cairo's streets at night and to try and find something to eat!

The day time is too hot - so the markets come out at night!
