UNESCO Treasures of Cairo: A Cultural Journey

πŸ–ΌοΈ Visual Introduction


Landscape
I have lived at my apartment in Bangalore for the last 4 years and had never visited the terrace because of my vertigo. I managed to find the courage over the last few weeks and it led to some amazing photos of the sunsets. I like how just a little bit of elevation gives me a greater sense of the place I live in.
