CHAPTER IV The Approach to the Native City : The Ataba-el- Khadra and the Musky WHEN the kodakcr goes to the Ataba-el-Khadra he finds a fresh lot of subjects. All Egypt seems to be eating sugar-cane, while there is any, and nowhere is one more conscious of this than in the Ataba-el-Khadra, where any Egyptian pauper, who isn't munching it, is selling it. The Ataba-el-Khadra is the epitome of the unmedlsval and unlovely native life. Here, instead of spending their lives in doing next to nothing for next to nothing in a dignified and picturesque way, every one is hurrying or tout- ing. There arc a few immense shops kept by German Jews, which tempt the native issuing from the Musky with resplendent European hosiery ; a jostle of nearly all the trams and in Cairo—this being their chief starting-point ; arabealis and donkeys ; a crowd of an ever-changing crowd of natives trying to sell European articles to each other, or to clean each other's boots. Here the real native life begins. Women in black, showing hardly anything of themselves except their ankleted legs, are getting in and out of absurd native omnibuses ; here the pedlars are more numerous than the pedlars in front of the Continental, but they cater for a different class.
