Cultural Calendar: What to do around Cairo this week

CAIRO – 7 May 2017:

Ghost cars of Cairo

Have you ever noticed all the old cars people have abandoned in the streets of Cairo? For his exhibition Ghost Cars of Cairo, photographer Steve Double pictures the most ghastly of them. Double has previously photographed musicians Daft Punk, M.I.A. and Eminem to name a few, but this time it is broken-down cars that get a celebrity treatment.

Showing until May 31 at Arcade Gallery in Maadi. Daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays by appointment. For more information, click
