*** Sidewalk Weekend! ***

Sidewalk Rating: Diametric

 Sayyid’s route twisted through a maze of fire escapes that climbed through narrow, chimney-like atria. Periodically, a stairway led to the roof of a building, where the gray streak of the Nile was visible two blocks away. Zamalek is a relatively prosperous part of Cairo, and it has always attracted foreign residents, but there are also many middle-class and even poor people, because rent-control laws keep the price of some apartments as low as a few dollars a month. As a result, landlords rarely make improvements, and old buildings have a kind of fading glory. On my street, many structures were built in the Art Deco style, with marble lobbies and beautifully patterned wrought-iron grillwork along the balconies. It’s common for apartments to have a kitchen door that leads to the fire escape, like mine.
