The storefront of Al-Waay Al-Arabi (Arab Awareness) bookstore on Faggala Street, Azbakeya district, Cairo, showing a sidewalk display of colorful notebooks, pens, and school supplies arranged on wooden boards supported by red plastic crates. The shop sign in Arabic script is clearly visible above the arched entrance of a stone-facade building characteristic of central Cairo's older commercial streets. Sidewalk stationery displays of this kind are a common feature of Cairo's traditional book and school-supply districts, particularly during the back-to-school season.
