2004-11 Al-Azhar Park Cairo
In the heart of Old Cairo, on the edge of a slum, a park is born. Yasmine El-Rashidi watches a phoenix emerge from the ashes. Cairo is a city of streets, pavements and apartment blocks. A city committed to tarmac and concrete, with a very low tolerance for nature and open space.

But we should remember that the city's relentlessly urban texture is a relatively recent phenomenon.

THE CRITICAL TIME
AL MOSTAKBAL, CAIRO
DECEMBER 20, 1986
INTERVIEWED BY RIAD NAGUIB EL-RAIS
The Aga Khan
Who is this man called the Aga Khan? One question among dozens of others which invaded my mind while on my way to meeting that "man-riddle" who has pre-occupied the Western world for many years as no other Muslim leader did before him, and stimulated in it as much curiosity as romantic, imperialistic feelings since the days of the British Raj in India and the legends of the Maharajas and Sultans in the days of a thousand and one nights.
