| I felt as if I'd never left.
The five-year absence (during which a great deal changed
in the world) only intensified my initial impressions
of the place. The city is busy, hot, densely packed,
dusty, chaotic but also welcoming. With a population
of 16,000,000, the capital of Egypt is both Arabia's
and Africa's most populous city. The city is also
the world's oldest tourist destination. To generations
of outsiders Cairo has proven both compellingly exotic
and astonishingly accessible. |
