A piece of Heaven in Cairo

After a week in crazy Cairo I was in desperate need for room to breath. Somewhere clean and where people weren't hitting me up for money. We found Al-Azhar Park.



There is a 360 view of the whole city.

Look how the sun sets behind the layer of smog. It's just... breathtaking!

We were able to hear just about every mosques call to prayer. It was really cool.

That smog is stunning. My little asthmatic lungs are collapsing just looking at it...

I'm sure that park was a nice break from the city. I love the picture that you are using as your header. Only you could make a head scarf so glamorous.
