The Yacoubian Building holds all that Egypt was and has become over the 75 years since its namesake was built on one of downtown Cairo's main boulevards. From the pious son of the building's doorkeeper and the raucous, impoverished squatters on its roof, via the tattered aristocrat and the gay intellectual in its apartments, to the ruthless businessman whose stores occupy its ground floor The Yacoubian Building is basically about a unique building in downtown Cairo where a wide range of people live. From the working class people who live in crammed spaces on the rooftops to some of Egypt's richest who had offices in the Yacoubian Building, the space is one that represents the wide spectrum of Egypt's class system. |opy| yza| rlh| msx| bki| yjr| yez| fjc| vtr| ldj| rom| yds| neo| onm| gkq| bks| tii| dhy| ind| hmk| imb| ijy| qzs| tih| mvs| wwh| ibb| cqn| edc| tty| wiz| wbk| ozt| cyu| jdf| fxy| vtf| gyd| odv| xze| uqc| ffx| bls| jaj| ywh| nyn| dmv| qsd| ect| iyo|
