Local Glassblower

The people of Cairo make their living in many ways.  This glassblower takes recycled glass and makes souvenir items.  They are mostly cobalt blue, but we purchased one that was a pale blue with a red design applied to it.  He also made fishing net floats which serve well as Christmas Balls!

The man in the background is Beshr, our driver and guide.  We hired a car and driver for our sightseeing around Cairo.  It was not too expensive, and let us keep our own schedule. 
 
We were in Egypt during Ramadan, a very holy period of daily fast and prayers.  Our guide was very devout in keeping his prayer schedule.  In Cairo this was relatively easy as there is a mosque within walking distance everywhere.
