18 Gorgeous Photos of Cairo in the Rain

Although everyone complains when it rains in Cairo – streets flood, traffic halts, dust turns to mud – we also welcome the rare wet weather as a blessing.

Our lungs feel cleaner, we’re encouraged to get cozy with loved ones and there’s no denying the pretty sheen that raindrops and the natural filter of a raincloud sky add to our everyday views.
