Cairo: City of Sand

Cairo is a 1,400-year-old metropolis whose streets are inscribed with sagas, a place where the pressures of life test people's equanimity to the very limit. Packed with incident and anecdote, this book explores Cairo’s relationship with its ‘others’, from the French and British occupations to modern influences like tourism and consumerism.
