Reflects C’s Layered Culture

Let's visit the library of Bayt Yakan in Cairo, Egypt. 


A house dating around 1640. The house was restored and reflects Cairo’s layered culture, which has been influenced by both colonial occupation and multi-ethnic immigration. Now it houses a library with 20,000 rare books focusing on architecture.

I would love to visit it. To smell. To see. To have you near.
