Ya Leil Cafe
Aromatic coffees, scented teas, warm bread, and fresh dates are just a few of the tastes to be sampled here. So popular is this cafe, that it remains open all night. Many exotic, and unsettling patrons can be found during those late night visits.

The Carnival
Ramshackle tents, poorly built wooden huts, and wagons doubling as stages can be found here. There are games of chance, exotic animals, and alluring performances. You will leave with a sense of wonder, and a missing coin purse.

The Streets of the Slums
It is along the outskirts of the city and in small pockets within that the poorest residents of Cairo make their home. Along these streets the buildings are so deteriorating it is a wonder people can even live here. Not lit by any lamp or torch, these streets remain pitch black during at night.

The Docks on the Nile
So crowded are these docks, that some have trouble finding their breath. Ships of every size and from every known country will eventually dock here, bringing foreign wares and attracting local spies.

On the Banks
The Nile remains one of the most-traveled, most-worshipped, and mystical rivers in the world. Some come seeking only water, others seeking tranquility. A rare few come seeking visions, or seek those who claim to have them.

Wandering in the Desert
Sandstorms, sinkholes, and suffering. No food, no water, and yet some animals survive, lying in wait to consume you. If they don't kill you, the mirages will. Only fools would go out this far, and yet rumors speak of some who do so often, even at night.

The Great Sphinx of Giza
A mysterious head that rises from the ground, his nose apparently carved off and his headress missing chunks of stone; it is called the Sphinx and has been since days immemorial. Perhaps its body lies buried underneath the sand or perhaps not, but still one wonders for what reason was it placed here.
