Local Tour Guide

Opportunity

If you live in a big city there is a good chance that you don’t know much about its history. You rush from place to another, doze off in the back seat of some microbus, shuffle on sidewalks and jump from public transportation buses. You might pass by a small shop that harbored demonstrators during the 25th of January revolution, and think it’s just another shop around the corner. Maybe you encounter an old villa that belonged to some Pacha in the royal days, and never know it played a big role in the people’s resistance to the English occupation. In an ancient city like Cairo where every stone has a story behind it, it’s a shame so few people know so little about these stories.
