"The city expands constantly, spreading out from the center like spilled molasses and encroaching on the desert sands, which every few months rise up in a flurry and turn the sky from blue to tangerine. It’s the sort of place that elicits strong feelings; people either despise Cairo, or they adore it, both for and in spite of its unruliness."
This reminds me so much of Napoli. We also have an abhorrently dense population, jaw-dropping colorful sunsets, and a love/hate attitude.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful city with us Samantha!
