Searching for Hidden Stories in the Side Streets of Cairo with @nourikam

Once a week on Saturday mornings, Nour Kamel (@nourikam) goes out in search of hidden gems in bustling Cairo. After spending two years in France and Spain, Nour, who’s 27, returned home with a fresh lens and a passion to rediscover her home city of 11 million. “I suddenly started to notice the bits that are unique to us — the colors, the windows, how we hang our laundry,” she says.

The Cairo most people experience is one that is crowded and loud, but Nour seeks out quieter streets with intimate surroundings that tell a different tale. “I like to find the sense of serenity that still exists,” she says. “I want people to see the Cairo that is least known to the world. That means a Cairo that is apolitical, a Cairo that lives in peace — where day-to-day activities happen smoothly, where there is charm and kindness and an extreme sense of home and hospitality.”
