The Souvenir Seller, Three Years Later

He took this photo (left) randomly while hanging in Coptic Cairo, during his residency in Egypt, couple of weeks ago. 

The old lady's face looks familiar to me, I think I've seen her before. 

I then decided to recheck stash of photos I captured on my visit to Cairo three years ago. 

And I found her, preserved perfectly with her eyes closed. 

The same lady, at the same location. 

While for most of us time flies at the speed of light, I can't help to think that for her, time seems to pass rather slowly that it stands still.

Khan el-Khalili Market

A very late post about Khan el-Khalili market that I visited last  year. 


Bagi yang sedang berkunjung ke Kairo, rasanya kurang lengkap jika tidak menyempatkan ke pasar Khan el-Khalili. Dibangun tahun 1382 oleh Emir Djaharks el-Khalili, pasar ini dahulu dikenal dengan nama ‘Turkish Bazar'.

El-Khalili terletak di pusat kota Kairo, menjadikannya tujuan utama para turis untuk berbelanja oleh-oleh dan souvenir khas Mesir.
