Aerial Views

From high above southern Cairo one can see the new Egyptian Museum of Civilization taking shape at Ein El Sira. The springs of Ein El Sira used to provide the original Roman town at Fustat with water. Now the water is dammed and forms part of new park beside the museum.
In the photo below, north is to the "up" direction. The Nile River is approximately 1.5 kilometres to the left. Ein El Sira was the location of the water utility district office where the Time Traveller first worked in Egypt.
