Meet the people of Cairo's Gamaliya quarter. There is Nabqa, son of Adam the waterseller who can only speak truths; the beautiful and talented Tawhida who does not age with time; Ali Zaidan, the gambler, late to love; and Boss Saqr who stashes his money above the bath. A neighbourhood of demons, dancing and sweet halva, the quarter keeps quiet vigil over the secrets of all who live there.

This collection by pre-eminent Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz was recently discovered among his old papers. Found with a slip of paper titled 'for publishing 1994', they are published here for the first time. Resplendent with Mahfouz's delicate and poignant observations of everyday happenings, these lively stories take the reader deep into the beating heart of Cairo.

Excellent mineral face sunscreen with minimal weight cast.
I’m glad I tried this. I am enjoying this mineral face sunscreen. It leaves a minimal white cast as long as you gently dab it on, blend it out, and don’t add too much. It wears very nicely under foundation, cream makeup, and powders foundations. Very nice! It acts like a gripping primer for make up. There’s a few other mineral face sunscreens that I’ve tried and liked to, but this one is my favorite so far.

Lovely Moisturizer
My 14 year old needed something for her sensitive, fair skin and this purchase was perfect. She says it is light and doesn't feel like she's wearing anything on her face. The bottle is easy to use and aesthetically pleasing on her bathroom counter.

Overpriced and Underwhelming
I had high hopes for this sunscreen, but it was a major letdown. The texture is oddly thick yet doesn’t hydrate well, leaving my skin feeling dry and tight. It also pills terribly under makeup, making it useless for daily wear. Despite being labeled as oil-free, it somehow made my skin look greasy within a few hours. Plus, the strong herbal scent is overwhelming and lingers way too long. The worst part? The tiny 1.1 oz size for the price—it’s ridiculous! You barely get any product, and with daily use, it runs out insanely fast. Definitely not worth the hype or the money.
