 Bank
square
The answer to our previous contest -- where we asked you to name the man
in the statue after whom the square in the photo is named -- is Talaat
Harb. Harb was one of the magnates of the modern Egyptian economy. As
for the clue we gave you -- about the green awning belonging to a famous
bookshop -- it's called Madbouli's.
We
quickly received 14 correct answers to this question. We also received
quite a few wrong ones, with people confusing the famous downtown square
for others dedicated to Mostafa Kamel and other legendary figures. The
winners were:
Ashraf Moftah
Rabmichael1
Antoaneta Nehma
Magd Fahmy
Mahmoud Dahab
Andrzej Skotowski
Doreen Briggs
Mostafa Hussein
Anki Hagberg

Easy

The answer to our last
contest -- when we asked you to name the building from which this
beautiful  architectural
detail stems -- was the Train Station called Bab El-Hadid in Ramsis
Square downtown. We considered any answer that featured some element
of the above correct, and quickly got 12 winners. They are:
Anki Hagberg
Silvia Holtrop
Youssef Abagui
Assem A. Memon
Doreen Briggs
Omar Atia
Tamer Fayez
Hany Abbas
Ahmed Al-Sahhar
Sherif Abdel-Fattah

woven into pillow cases and  tapestries -- is Khayamiyya.

Actually...
 For
our last "Pic of the Week" we thought we would be giving
away ten stickers, but we only ended up giving away one. It seems
the picture was so obscure and so difficult that every single answer we
got was wrong.
The question was:
Where is this place?
a) Somewhere
in Spain
b) Somewhere in Old Cairo
c) Somewhere in Nasr City
Admittedly, the picture does not
necessarily typify Nasr City --but that in fact, is where it is. And
that's the whole point of a contest, isn't it? To not make things too
obvious.
Those who answered Spain were way
off the mark -- after all, the site is called Cairo Live. Those who
answered Old Cairo may have had a point-- it did look like it could have
been taken at one of the city's antique sites. Then, again, nearly every
neighborhood might have some hidden charms.
This particular shot was taken on
a side street off of Nozha Street near Al-Riqaba Al-Idaraya...
Congratulations to Mohamed
ElBeltagy, who submitted the right answer on September 26, the first
person to say Nasr City after a string of Old Cairos.
