The battle of the inhabitants of Cairo to save the houses on the water, an icon of the Egyptian capital

There is the majesty of the pyramids and the colorful chaos of Khan el Khalil. There is the red of the Egyptian Museum and the hidden green of Zamalek. And then there is the Nile, always and in any case, and hidden there, among its banks, the most reserved beauty of Cairo, the one that takes you away from the confusion and gives you harmony: small floating houses, scattered along the smaller arm del Nile, between the island of Zamalek and the May 15th Bridge, on the left bank of the river, surrounded by greenery, which in a few seconds transport the visitor away from the noise and traffic of the streets above.
