Mokattam is a small mountain in Cairo; its sand colored rock rises to a sharp ridge above the city west of the Citadel, just outside the walls of Islamic Cairo and near the City of the Dead. The term “Garbage City” is used in English to describe the part of Mokattam where the zabaleen have lived for about 50 years; literally the Arabic term “Hay al-Zabaleen” means “The Garbage Collector’s Area”.]]> http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/04/03/garbage-city/feed/ 2 amiraha view1 roof panels+cow children rockcarvings church view2 http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/03/07/juice-video/ http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/03/07/juice-video/#comments Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:50:31 +0000 amiraha http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/?p=112 ]]> http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/03/07/juice-video/feed/ 1 amiraha Juice http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/03/06/alexandria-portals/ http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/03/06/alexandria-portals/#comments Sat, 06 Mar 2010 21:15:06 +0000 amiraha http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/?p=101 ]]> http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/03/06/alexandria-portals/feed/ 1 amiraha portal0 portal6 portal5 portal4 portal3 portal2 portal1 portal http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/02/16/commerce-at-the-summit/ http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/02/16/commerce-at-the-summit/#comments Tue, 16 Feb 2010 22:07:05 +0000 amiraha http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/?p=93 ]]> http://transhumancity.wordpress.com/2010/02/16/commerce-at-the-summit/feed/ 1 amiraha Camels at the base Commerce at the summit (1) Commerce at the summit (2) Commerce at the summit (3) Commerce at the summit (4) View from the summit (1) View from the summit (2)
