Used book seller in Cairo.
These are from Al-Azbakiya, the used book market in Cairo. It used to be huge, now its two rows of sellers. They have lots of English titles, as well as Arabic ones, but their condition tends to be poor. Classic fiction is much more prevalent than recently published contemporary fiction, and prices tend to be between $1 and $4 per used English-language paperback.
