ESNCairo7::Zawiyat 'Arif Pasha

|

He lives a simple life – with his light brownish galabayya and clear white scarf briefly donned on his head, amid his toothless but sincere sweet smile, he reflected what life is all about. Steadfastly, sitting along the Bab al Wazir street selling one of the popular summer desert fruit – tin suqhi, the hot summer Cairo and the uncertainties of the economic situations around him did not affect his mental. One piece of locally baked bread or aish and a cup of Eyptian tea, .... bass in local dialect mean enough! Sufficient for him to persevere this tough life, yet he survives though.
Located right at the juncture of Bab al Wazir Street, al Tabanna Street and Souk al Silah, is the unpretentious Zawiyat ‘ Arif Pasha that was built in 1866. And, now still under restoration, though it seemed to be no progress?!Well, in the interest of time, I did not really stop here but rather passed it by while my D90 captured the ruined building.
