Barad chai Misri

It is our 5th year here and my wife and I have never been in a more welcoming, ‘meet-on-the-street-friendly’ country than Egypt. Behind doors and inside apartment entries we hardly know anyone but as I cycle around Ma’adi (now in the 100’s of times) and into Tourah, Basatien, rural Giza and beyond, I am met everywhere with “Hello – where you from? Welcome to Egypt!” This ‘Barad chai Misri’ is a tribute to all those people. The small ‘Pyramid-with-a-twist’ on top is a nod to the power of the past in today’s society.
