Temple of Horus Local Customs

According to Unicef Egypt, 17 percent of the population in this country live in poverty and millions have trouble meeting basic food needs. This means children are often seen as economic tools rather than right holders who deserve care and proper schooling.

And to survive in this urban jungle, kids better be tough. They are made to drop out of school and beg or work long hours on streets and under bridges at an age when children should be learning and playing. I really had pity for them...when you travel to Egypt remember to carry with you some sweets or pens to give to the local children..
