I am writing at the end of a week in the Arab world's New York.
Ferocious daytime temperatures turn Cairo into a 24-hour city. Cafes,
bars and restaurants stay open long after midnight in the merciful
cool. So do the clothes shops, thronged by crowds that spill off the
pavements along the main streets, jostling the endlessly hooting
traffic. At one in the morning toddlers still race around the
pedestrian space outside the Mugamma, a monstrous government building
in Tahrir square, while their parents chat on benches.
Barely has the sun gone down when the Nile embankments fill up. Couples
and family groups pile on to boats that crisscross the leaden water
with flashing coloured lights and waves of noise from erratic sound
systems. Out on the river the breeze is strong, and the temperature
drops another few degrees.
