Walk into Lehnert and Landrock, a little book shop close to the Greek Club, and in the back you will find a small room filled with late 19th century, early 20th century era black-and-white pictures of scenes in Egypt and across North Africa taken by a couple Europeans of the name of the book shop. Great place for souvenirs.

Lehnert and Landrock is on the western side of Sherif Street close to the intersection with July 26 street.

Best bookshop for English-language books in Cairo. They have loads of material including academic books. When you've finished browsing pop into Maison Thomas nearby for a great sandwich.

A real-life apartment block in downtown Cairo becomes a parable of Egypt’s decline. Aswani portrays a cruel society in which his characters are both villains and victims, exploiting of others and exploited themselves.
