Tranquility, Cairo style

Cairo hums constantly with the energy of its inhabitants and runs at a fever pitch through both broad boulevards and narrow lane-ways. In our time there we had the opportunity to see the best that Cairo had to offer and, at times, to catch a glimpse into the private world of some of the people who called it home.  

Cairo, after all, is more than pyramids, revolution and crowded streets.
