Downtown Cairo is a relic of a bygone era - Egypt's Belle Epoque. This is the Baehler or Behlar Passage off Talaat Harb Street.

More Heliopolis, Cairo. Its founder was the Belgian Baron Empain. The streets are lined with buildings blending Medieval Egyptian, Byzantine, Moorish and Neoclassical elements. It is also called 'Heliopolis Style'.

Even binnen kijken. Aan het eind van een lange gang ligt de kleine grafkamer.

A look inside. At the end of a long corridor lies the small burial chamber.

Voor een bezoek aan de knikpiramide is behoorlijk wat lenigheid en conditie vereist.

To visit the bent pyramid, a considerable amount of flexibility and fitness are required.

Stray dogs in Cairo. They roam the streets at night. During the day, they sleep on the pavements.

Art Nouveau is ultra-rare in Downtown Cairo. Inside the building on Talaat Harb Square that I posted photos from yesterday. Inside it is Art Nouveau definitely.

For a moment, I thought I was walking in Milan or Turin. The Miramar hotel is occupying part of the building. It has nice balconies with beautiful wrought iron, but that is about it.

In de getalenteerde familie Ter Borch was zoon Moses (1645-1667) uitzonderlijk getalenteerd. Nu mooi te zien in De Fundatie, Zwolle.
