There’s a not
so glamorous sign wedged among the retail shop’s signage, a narrow entrance and
a flight of more than a dozen stairs to reach an ancient elevator.
I’m used to elevators being flush with
the ground floor entrance.
That way, people who use wheelchair, walkers and
crutches can access upper floors without doing the steps.
Well, there must be 100, maybe 10
times that many, beautiful old downtown Cairo buildings with the odd setup of
enter, do the stairs, then enter a quirky but beautiful old cage elevator.
This is the kind of lift that doesn’t
work unless you close the door tightly.
But it looked to be refurbished, so it
had the best of both worlds – old world appearance but modern upgrades for
safety and stability.
