Additional Details:
In the Arab Quarters, cairo. This is a very picturesque part of old Cairo. Here are small chambers all facing a rectangular courtyard, and above them more rooms where sleep at night those merchants who sell in the lower rooms by day. Money-changers live here, harness-sellers, jewellers, brss and copper workers and the business of trade goes on in the leisurely Oriental manner with periods of coffee-drinking and smoking between the bargaining.
