An Evening In Cairo, Egypt

• Photographer
  Raquel Finol, United States

Making a tourist city tour of Cairo I could not contain the urge to
take this picture, the driver stopped the vehicle and I could take
some images in seconds.
This image reflects a normal afternoon in Cairo but actually it live
a tense calm for the political situation in which they were living.
This image were few days before for revocation of President Morsi
on June 3, 2013, when thousands of protesters would meet in
Liberation Square in downtown Cairo, Egypt, to demand the
immediate resignation of President Morsi due to discomfort
economic and social.
I was a common tourist. I was learning the ancient culture but
ignorance of the language and the intervention of an excellent
attention to tourism experts from Cairo, made my stay totally
quiet and out of danger of the that was living and distress we lived
without knowing...
The image was taken from inside the vehicle on May 29, 2013
