Taking the political pulse of one of the world’s most vibrant cities, Egypt’s capital.

Watch part two

The Arab Street takes viewers to the beating heart of some of the world’s most vibrant cities. In this episode we visit the Egyptian capital, Cairo.

As well as giving a taste of the street life, colour and culture of Cairo, The Arab Street hears from Egyptians as they share their views on their own country and the wider Arab world.

From Egypt’s economy and the country’s political future to Barack Obama, the US president, Israel’s war on Gaza and the niqaab (face covering) issue, residents of Cairo tackle the topics that really matter to them.
