A group of us went to Bulaq again today (high of 41C) to look at fabric and the sights. The fabric is awesome and the market is loaded with fabric and clothing. Got a bit more silk, so cheap I couldn’t resist for $6.50 a meter. We walked through the network of walking streets and each one filled with fabrics and clothing. Then you run out off the fabric section into the next area. The neighboring souq/market is car parts. All arranged in every nook and cranny. The dresses are very flashy and full of sequins and lace. I posted some to my web album…… http://picasaweb.google.com/colmac27 …. The picture of the fellow on the bike is classic Egypt. They can drive a bike with an almost impossible load. The same goes for motorcycles and small cars.
