A two-hour trip from Cairo will take you to another world. Hamoul village is in Menoufia governorate. Few cars are to be seen, never blocking the streets. No one cares about politics or what's going on. Time stops here. Your eyes open wide to see the vast green areas surrounding the place. You breathe pure air and see stars in the sky.
Everyone walking in the streets recognises each other very well, to the extent that they would spot any strangers and wonder about their identity.
When I was a child, my father used to take me to visit my relatives there. I can remember how I grumbled about walking long distances.

Inside this house, there is a family consisting of a grandfather, grandmother, children, and grandchildren. "Abd el Aziz and his wife Samera, their sons Mohamed and Saaed, their wives Heba and Samera, and their children Abd el Azez, Salma, Fares,fares and Meriem" .
Everyone is busy with their work. At 6 a.m. sharp, the grandfather and his son wake up and head to their land. The mother stays home to feed the chicken and prepare food for the family. The grandmother, however, sits in front of the oven to make the bread.
The only source for news is an old radio device that can be seen hanging on the wall.
The courtroom 2014:2017
The gods judged Sisyphus to roll unceasingly to the top of the mountain like a rock that returns to fall down because of its weight, just as I was judged to roll my feelings to the top of the mountain to fall, so I return with it the next day, for the gods thought, and for a logical reason, that there is no worse punishment than hopeless work.
As a photographer, I go every day to the Institute of Police Secretaries in the Tora prison area without hope. I am a witness to people who are locked between them and their loved ones in an iron cage decorated with soundproof glass, lawyers who cannot speak with their accusers, and a judge who separates him from people by a wooden barrier that was recently erected specifically to transform the former runway.
Prisoners' families Every time, with the same hope and its brokenness, they carry a rock that will make them fall with them, and whenever they reach their destination, they find that the rock has fallen again, and they have to carry it again.
underground Cairo Metro story. 2012: 2015
The Cairo Metro system sprawls across the city, delivering an estimated 3.6 million passengers per day over three different lines and approximately 78 kilometers (49 miles) of train track, both above ground and below the city center.
In a city known, as much as anything, for its dysfunction, the Cairo Metro stands as a singular achievement. It's reliable, well-maintained, and relatively clean. And it may be the only place in Egypt where no-smoking rules are actually enforced. At 1 Egyptian pound (13 cents) per ticket, the Metro is a bargain even in a country like Egypt, where nearly half the population of 90 million lives near or below the poverty line.
Veteran Metro riders know all the tricks and unwritten rules. For starters, men have to be careful not to accidentally step onto one of the women-only cars; those who forget could receive a hostile reaction from the women onboard.
Savvy passengers know to avoid the morning and evening rush hours, when the cars can become packed to maximum density with commuting civil servants and rowdy students. Others carefully choose their cars to avoid those that stop closest to the station turnstiles and are likely to be the most crowded.
But not everything runs smoothly down below. The cars are not air-conditioned, which can make conditions truly miserable on a crowded summer day. At peak times, each station can devolve into a violent wrestling match, with passengers aggressively crowding in from the platform and preventing riders from exiting.
