Favorite urban spot:
In each city I have several favorite urban spots but the most impressive spots for me are: El Moez-LedinAllah Street The oldest street in Cairo and the core of the old historical center, where I feel the past combined with present and the dynamics of the city coming together with the daily life activities.
Also the Grand Plaza of Brussels is one of my favorite spots where I can start a walk passing by the Royal library and ending in the front of the Justice Palace where I can watch the city from above and bring myself to a different mood.
