I wanted to point out something amongst this view, the burnt in National Democratic Party Headquarters...you can see this from the tower .. it is in front of the stunning and conspicuous Cairo Egyptian Museum (orangey pink colour)
I remember watch the building burn on AlJazeera and to see it months later sent excitement through me simply by recognising the building and imaging the spirit in the air. Many say it has stayed like that as a reminder as to what Egyptians do not want. However, part of this building, which was burnt - a testament to the rage felt by some Egyptians during the revolution, was a section devoted to women - the National Council for Women (the side you can see in the picture) ... this is it burning ...
I was a little saddened when I saw the council had been burnt, however I wonder how much the council actually did for women whilst in operation? ...
