The living among the dead



Taken at Cairo -- here, many poor folks built their homes at this ancient cemetary area - so call City Of The Dead.

Judgement Day



Got this during my trip at Egypt, and interesting story behind the pic that tells about what happens after you die.

You will need to face the juries, and they will weigh ur heart on one side and another feather at the other side of the scale.

If you have been a good guy, your heart will be lighter than the feather. If you have been bad guy, then too bad for u, you'll be doomed for eternity.

Smoker sighted



Was told that Egyptians have a different kind of smoking equipment. Not the usual cigarette, but a rather huge gadget. I forgot the name of the smoking gadget, but seems that it is quite popular around Eygpt.

Beauty of Imperfection



Most human, flowers or objects considered to be beautiful often are symmetrical and perfectly flawless in nature. Imperfection or flaws itself is a beauty - something refreshingly beautiful, defying standards and norm.

Street Views From Cairo

Near City of The Dead - So called due to few million folks choose to have their home at the cemetary. One of the poorer area where people have to stay alongside with the graves of their ancestors. To live amongst the dead, may not be too bad after all. Kids were running around, and adults begging around.... so sad.

Khan El Khalili Bazaar ( Cairo, Egypt )
