A Maadi Friday

I went out for a walk on Friday morning to find the Kimo Market - which is a rival to the Soudi Market on Road 253. We were told the Kimo Market is better as it sells maple syrup! Kimo does indeed sell maple syrup, and Oreo cookies and the fruit and veg looks better than at Soudi - but the fruit and veg here is outside, beside a main roundabout, rather than inside at Soudi, so I'm still undecided about the winner in this competition.
Here are a few photos I took on my expedition that show how quiet things are on a Friday morning.

Here are a few photos that I took that afternoon when we ventured over the Metro line and were in "proper Cairo". Between the houses they hang up decorations for Ramadan.
