Living With the Past: Old Cairo - Documentary

[@heatherharder2137]

I have been to Cairo over 25 times and I can attest that it is like a beautiful diamond, with many beautiful facets. The "old " city is just one facet. Indeed it is old and gray but just as beautiful! I would encourage everyone to see Egypt before they leave this planet. Enjoy every part of Cairo even the old Cairo!

Heather Harder if you get a chance...could you share, in regards to Cairo...the best “unheard of” beautiful feature? (a building with a most enigmatic design/the best neighborhood speaker array to be near during the call to prayer/a certain cafe that hosts an authentic atmosphere/a city street that’s best to hear the melodic rhythm of society....) whatever your personal favorite “token” place/person/subtle sensory detail/experience was? It would be much appreciated for my upcoming trip to Cairo. I would love the opinion of a woman of your experience and positivity.

Beautiful, beautiful, brought tears to my eyes, many times, very well done. Our family has beautiful memories of our visit to Egypt in Ramadan of 2000. We were in Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor. But I fell in love with Cairo. I miss a lot that city, and especially Zamalek. Thank you very much for this happy time.

We are in Cairo now. Love every minute of it. Second time and would be back next time for at least one month. Cairo required time... love the program. Thanks

This is great. You may be interested in a follow-up film on Darb al-Ahmar (c. 2015) here on KZbin; it can be found under the title 'Cairo Economic Livelihood Program'.

Cairo was the most beautiful city along with Baghdad back in the islamic golden age. So sad to see how they have turned up.

[@latitudeselongitudes1932]

Damascus(before the war),Istanbul,Isfahan and Samarkhand are also great examples of fascinating cities in the Islamic world

This is the right way to conserve culture and humanity---not like in certain country where people are classified as higher and lower populations.

The Head Teacher reminded me of Faten Hamama when she was a young star - she claimed to be from Abdin (same quarter?) Wonderful.

[@bismanaufa5618]

Historic places should be vibrant of people’s lives, that's how it should be. You can turn the whole city to be a museum but it will be soulless

Read Naguib Mahfouz "Trilogy" than when you visit old city Cairo it will be nostalgic.. stroll along Sugar Street and the Tent Maker at Bab Zuweila there used to have old city turkish Hammam... beautiful memory for me...

[@latitudeselongitudes1932]

I try to read Mahfouz once but i didnt really connected with his literature, maybe i wasnt mature enough as a reader

[@maas0017]

i like these kids lots of my love for kids.....😚😚😚😚😚

Not their culture to accomodate but at least proudly show the world that you love your country and not let it go to literally ruins. Sad but whether they like it or not, they really need help.

[@lizachelico8810]

Unfortunate that more time is not given to the Copts and churches of Cairo and their story.

Not much was said about Coptic Cairo, the place of the authentic Egyptians. Sad.

You're too ignorant and arrogant to appreciate Cairo. Go to Moscow instead, you'll like it there.

[@rugosetexture2716]

Cairo may be rather scruffy in places but in my experience the people of Cairo are some of the nicest in the world; for me that is a much more important measure of civilisation than a few glittery skyscrapers.
