It was then back on the bus for the three-an-a-half hour ride back to Alexandria and the waiting ship. As our guide pointed our Cairo was once thought of as a beautiful city but it is a faded glory. All too poignant as we passed what was once the second best zoo in the world after London – its cages and enclosures now empty of almost all animals.
I’m pleased to have seen some of these ancient historic sites in Egypt but the filth, dilapidation and constant pestering by the street vendors will make me think twice about returning.
The photo is of sheep in Cairo rummaging amongst the piles of rubbish and awaiting slaughter!!
