Already a decade ago with story of her sisters (and no longer included the protective liking of her forefather she had an unforgettable feat. "The city was beautiful and the people were very nice," recalled Nadda.
After traveling lived in Damascus and subsequently the undamaged beget, Nadda not in the least forgot the weight and bedlam of this ogygian city, which was to begin with settled in Paleolithic. Sitting on the borderline of what sometimes Upper and Lower Egypt, the area that has fit the capital of Cairo assembly towards the Greeks, Romans, Crusaders, Ottomans, Napoleon and the British and is in only of the most densely populated cities in the on cloud nine.
