SOUNDBITE (Arabic): AITEN HANI, Cairo resident
"What brings me here every year before Ramadan is, of course, folklore. I can feel the atmosphere through the very beautiful decorations. What distinguishes the market, of course, is its atmosphere. It still preserves the tradition. I come here to experience the pleasant atmosphere before Ramadan."

Sharia Khayamiya, built in the 1600s, is one of the last Medieval covered streets remaining in Cairo.
