Thousands pack Cairo’s Islamic quarter despite Covid-19 risk
Thousands of Egyptians have flocked to Cairo’s Islamic quarter during Ramadan, defying government advice on social-distancing to break their Ramadan fast among some of the capital’s historic treasures.
Hundreds of years of Egyptian history is concentrated in the area - a Unesco world heritage site boasting a wealth of historical sites from the Fatimid, Mamluk and Ottoman eras.
