Miro from Cairo

Another post about Beyond Van Gogh. I love immersive experiences and I really enjoyed the storytelling and music. But it felt rushed and I would have liked to stay longer than half an hour.

Walking through the old neighborhood of El Khalifa from Sultan Hassan Mosque to Ibn Tulun Mosque.

We passed by Sabeel Om Abbas which was built by Bamba Qaden the mother of Khedive Abbas Helmy I in 1861 as an endowment. Unfortunately we could not visit it this time.

Legend has it that her son was not a popular ruler when he was alive so she hoped this free water fountain would make people forgive him and pray for him after he passed away.

It's worth noting that she built one of the first schools for girls in Egypt and it still operates as a school today but for boys.
