Strssenscene in Kairo - a photo on Flickriver

            Vielleicht ist sie das, die Midaq-Gasse in Kairo, von Nagib Machfus (by Naguib Mahfouz) in einem Buch beschrieben:
Sein Onkel Kamil ist Bobonverkäufer und der Standplatz seines Wagens Treffpunkt alter Freunde. Männer, 
die einen stillen Ort auf der Strasse brauchen, um gemeinsam ihre kostbare Zeit totzuschlagen.

Perhaps this Midaq Alley in Cairo, described by by Naguib Mahfouz in his book:
His uncle Kamil is a bobon-seller and the stand of his cart a place to hang out with his friends. Old men
who need a quiet place out of their homes to kill their precious time with eachother.

Lonely Planet: Midaq Alley
"Street in Cairo. This tiny alley is Islamic Cairo's literary star thanks to being immortalised in Naguib Mahfouz's famous novel named after the street. Although the stepped lane may not be populated with the same colourful characters as the book, the way of life here is little changed from the author's 1940s depictions. Because of the street's fame, the street sign is kept in the coffeehouse at the foot of the steps and produced only on payment of baksheesh".
