From the corner of Cairo

Al-Kindi, the author of the book The Virtues of Egypt, mentioned that one of its princes said one day, while he was in the square next to Fustat: Do you contemplate what I see? They said: What does the prince see? He said: I see a betting field, a palm tree, a tree grove, houses, a mountain peak, a roaring river, a land of crops, a pasture for livestock, a pasture for horses, a sea hunter, a hunter, a ship''s navigator, a camel driver, a sand cave, a plain and a mountain in less than a mile by a mile.As for the matter, let us look from the perspective of Cairo, and this is without infatuation or madness.
