Now life in Cairo is not easy - constant riots, skirmishes, skirmishes. It's scary to go outside even during the day. But there was a time when it was calm and peaceful in the capital of Egypt - no one fought, life went on at its measured pace. These color photographs were taken in Cairo in 1910. More precisely, these are hand-painted slides that show a long-gone era in the Egyptian capital.
