    THE WELL | TRAVEL | LIFTING THE VEIL PAYAL UTTAM travels to Cairo and is inspired by the city’s resilience after the revolution eep inside a narrow alley through a haze of shisha smoke, I see hips swinging and hands gliding gracefully through the air. A young girl is dancing to the beat of a tabla. Slowly she weaves her way through a row of copper tables. A man breaks into song, her pace intensifies and people begin clapping loudly. It’s my second day in Cairo and I’m sipping syrupy mint tea at El Fishawy’s cafe in the 14th-century souk Khan el-Khalili. I am in town for a friend’s wedding and her Egyptian fiancé, Omar, is shepherding us through the hidden passageways of the bazaar. According to rumours, this is the oldest ahwa (traditional coffee house) in the city, he tells us. Squeezing our way out of the cafe we plunge into a web of cobblestone streets. A tall stone gateway leads us into al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah Street, a major thoroughfare in medieval times. The winding road is lined with crumbling building facades and cavernous shops piled with cardamom-scented coffee, antiques and ornate metalware. Retro cars dating to the 1970s choke the small pathways as women balancing ladder-like trays PYRAMID AND SPHINX AT GIZA of flatbread slip past the traffic. Around the corner, silver-bearded men in abayas (traditional robes) sit nursing shisha pipes, their faces wreathed in smoke. Normally thronged with tourists, the hammering sounds coming from a few yards the clamour and bustle of the neighbourhood Street is one of the pockets that evoke its and Omar Khayyam Casino in 1982.

  • Egypt Itinerary Jan 1
    Egypt Itinerary I took this trip with a friend right after Christmas (I flew to Madrid from Boston) and a third friend joined us in Cairo for the last half of the trip. The trip was action-packed, there were a number of early mornings, several flights and only one full day of real relaxation; nonetheless it didn’t seem too rushed. With only 10 days for my first trip to Egypt, I’m not sure I would have done anything differently. A note on costs: I like to strike a balance between keeping costs down and not missing out on good deals or on experiences that I’ll regret having skipped later on. If you’re taste for adventure is strong, experiment a little with the cost-cutting. But if you have limited time and you are looking for more of a balance between relaxation and adventure, Egypt is a place where a little splurge can go a long way. We quickly discovered that to achieve the vacation we were hoping for, it was best to sign up for small group tours or for private guides in most locations. I prefer not to plan trips around sight-seeing. But that’s just not realistic in Egypt—there are a lot of “tourist” sights worth seeing. Using guides allows you to see much more each day, rest and observe while someone else is driving you through the countryside or through the city and learn a lot at the same time. We were not shy about asking our guides questions about the sights we were visiting and also about Egyptian culture in general.

There are some practical attempts and technical procedures that have been carried out to achieve some functional purposes, differ from the original purposes of the archaeological and historical buildings in Cairo in particular. In a similar way, this has been applied to historical and heritage buildings around the world in general. The methodology of this study will be addressed through an- alytical and comparative study of the original idea or the original functional purpose of these archaeological and historical buildings. The outlines and features of change in the functional purpose of these archaeological and historical buildings are represented in some technical procedures like the technique of adaptive rehabilitation or rehabilitation in terms of adaptation, so there is a necessity for conformity and harmony between heritage buildings and modern functional purpose, and this should be done without any disagree- ment and repulsion with the original functional purpose.
