the gates of cairo

Today I went to the market Khan El-Khalili where I overpaid for this really neat piece of cloth artwork with the shahada on it. I also climbed the towers of Bab Zuwayla:

Still havent been to the pyramids or any other really touristy areas, I think I'm going to wait until my arabic is better and the weather gets cooler.

    Are those bars stairs? And are they woven bars?

    They are bars and they are stairs. I don't think there was any weaving involved, though.
