DOWNTOWN CAIRO -- 4

 DESIGNED TO BE THE PARIS OF THE EAST


Downtown Cairo was once home to the prosperous elite of late 19th and early 20th century.

It is a relic of a bygone era — Egypt's belle epoque and demonstrates the vision for developing Egypt.

Decades of neglect by the neighborhood's landlords and tenants have left the splendor of many its ornate edifices mired in decay.
