In No Particular Order …
‘The curfews, the religious rules, the patriarchy… All the superficial surface-level stuff….’
3:33 AM - Egypt, Luxor Airport - Coffee shop outside the airport.
The shop falls silent as I walk in.
All eyes on me.
Yet, not one set of eyes meets my eyes.
Not a woman in sight.
Just me and about 30 men.
In this part of Egypt, women are not allowed out after 9/10 PM-ish without being accompanied by a husband or male family member.
