Hello @Mohsenhadid,
This is a nice post and good photos. Thank you for sharing it with us. I was wishing you could write more about the great historical Egypt.
What does the general street food or cuisines look like? I am from Nigeria and particularly Lagos. It’s the most populated city in Africa so I do enjoy stories from cities, capitals etc.
See you around
Cheers
