Cairo, Egypt: The old city reminded me of old Delhi. The shadows of the dusk became long suddenly and the lights had came on.

अल काहिरा, मिस्रः पुराने कैरो को देख कर पुरानी दिल्ली की याद आयी. संध्या के अधेरे अचानक लम्बे हो गये और बत्तियाँ जल गयीं थी.

Cairo, Egitto: La vecchia città mi ricordava la vecchia Delhi. Le ombre della sera si sono allungate improvvisamente e alcune luci si erano accese.

  3. How true it does remind of the old city true and the whole ghettoish look it gives in these photos creates a very different feel. Egypt has always been my most sort after trip... hoping to make it soon now :)

    1. Cairo is so much like Delhi and yet, the parts around the river Nile are so different .. a pity that Delhi does not value Jamuna at all ..
      Thanks Richa

  6. I worked on the ethnography of Old Delhi with a friend and now I can see why old Muslim cities are so interesting!

    1. It is true, in terms of human relationships, old cities with their narrow streets, inter-mixed lives, traditions etc. are usually very interesting :)
