Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

After seeing many of the ancient sights in and around Cairo, Mahmoud, our tour guide, took me and the nine other women in our group, to the shopping district in Cairo. This shot is of a window of an upscale clothing store for women. While the Egyptian women dress modestly--almost all have their heads covered and many wear the traditional long dress--they, like women all over the world, are very interested in being fashionable and having the most up to date styles.
