Today's feature The Boursa Exchange, a blog on life in downtown Cairo.
You might wonder why the plug here as it apparently has nothing to do with finance or the GCC. Well, it has some very interesting posts. And Cairo is one of the great cities in the world. And this is my blog. There is also a link, however tenuous to finance, the blog does take its name from the area where the Cairo Stock Exchange is located
As befits a country with Egypt's history, Cairo has a veritable treasure trove of buildings and neighborhoods - different periods, different styles ...
There's a neat book by Samir W Raafat "Cairo the Glory Years", which focuses on the modern European inspired architecture. Sadly, it seems a lot of these gems are suffering from lack of proper attention.
On the other hand, there are some new triumphs - the gisr "gamila" fouq 26th July Street in Zamalek. And, of course, the Burg Al 'Ayb. Or is that Burg Al 'Aar? Shukran gazilan, Ustath Khalid!
