Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,


He was a young boy when he left home to buy a glass of Leban il A'sfoor. However, as you can see, he's still waiting. I am more concerned and so are the customers by the look on their faces and so should you be concerned...about the plight of those poor little creatures at the back of the shop. Squeezing Leban min il A'sfoor is an unpleasant experience...for the A'sfoor. ;)

Faris :mashaallah: u sure have an excellent level of imgination


Sobhan Allah :thumb: :)

[Faris_Mee]

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,


Ah well. Maybe I'm mistaken. Perhaps the scene is really about the first man feeling happy that his glass of Leban il A'sfoor is finally nearly full. Where as the second man is obviously concerned. Perhaps his thought is; "Eeeeiiiyyy...there won't be enough leban il a'sfoor left for me".


Meanwhile across the road.....





Now here is something even more rare than leban il asfoor. Wood.

as salam alykom Faris


you u r keeping me wondering where do u get these pics?


looks like press reporters professional work :thumb:


last November I had an interpretation assignment with two Americans in Upper Egypt. The man was flibbergasted to see chicken (that was before bird flue) being transported from one place to another in reed cages.


He couldnt belive there still existed reed cages.


Faris, building on the bread pic, I tried to find a pic for a peasant woman carrying her water container made of pottery over her head and walking with no problem non what so ever. Can u find one? seems u r more expert with Egyptian sites than me. :)

Let me explain everyone where exactly this last pic Faris posted is located and indicate another very interesting item.


Can u all see the black container behind the woman walking to the right hand side? This is a premitive cart with a locally made oven (yes oven) lit with small wooden or other similar items.


U know what is being baked there? sweet potatoes. And believe me the way they are baked is incomparable. Really.


This kind of carts are spread all around the city, usually more centered in front of schools to cater for children when coming out.


The site is one of Cairo's monumental sites (as far as I can guess). It is one of the back allys of Azhar district. This is a very popular touristic attraction. To tell you about it, i need Faris to bring in a whole photo album.


Briefly, it contains historical masjeds, Azhar masjed, small allys that sell traditional handicrafts and artisan work, u can actually see artisans' sitting and working, you can eat traditional food such as kabab and kufta, fatah, and more. Well If Ahmed would like to explain to you what fatah is or else I will in my next post.


O I think this thread is turning into Egypt's promotion brochure.... :) I m ready to meet everyone here Insh a Allah and may be host an islammessage reunion.

Ok more on the juice pic, such fresh fruit juice shops are quite common to be found here in Egypt. Mainly in main cities like Cairo, Alex, and other large cities. U just go there and wait while the attendant actually squeezes the juice right in front of u. There are shops that are only specialized in serving sugar cane juice. U see the sugar cane standing there in heaps waiting for the attendant to put into a machine and get the juice. Other types like the one in the pic may also serve pommegrante in season which is an attraction for Americans I know.


What else do i want to comment about in those pics to explain more about our social life? which is totally different from western life.


Faris do u know what i m talking about regarding the peasant women? if not then I will try Insh aAllah to find a pic.
