... supermarket trollies in the south.

...when there are kids around to be entertained.

Pictures left side: Masr il Gedida [Heliopolis], a fine suburb in north Cairo; supermarket trollies; shisha water pipes on sale in Egypt's bazaar. Right side: Heliopolis again; spices from Khan el Khalili; Egyptian glassware shop [never mind the potential breakages, fling the tourist's kid around].

Cairo's northern suburb [in Arabic Misr al Gedida or 'New Egypt] is spectacularly different from the rest of the city. It was conceived as a luxury city in 1905 by a Belgian industrialist, Baron Empain, with unusually broad streets, green areas and a unique architectural style, a mixture of Moorish, Arab and European design ideas combined into the delightful and successful 'Heliopolis Style,' visible in the images above and throughout the area.
