American and Egyptian Colorizing retouchers took vintage photographs of Egypt’s landmarks in the past (mainly from Cairo and Alexandria) and added colour to them to give us a different look at history.
Nowadays technology continues to surprise us more and more. MyHeritage developed a tool that gives movement to Black and White and iconic photos taken throughout Egyptian history by turning them into colourful and vital images.
Cairo city is a charming place where culture and history play side by side. Cafés and restaurants line cobblestone streets, beautiful people stroll along the Nile at all hours, and every district seems to have its own iconic landmark, be it the Emad Eldin, Fauad I, Zamalek, Abdaijn and Ramsis square.
The city's roots date back to the third century, but Cairo has undergone extreme transformations in the past 100 years or so alone— groundbreaking fashion trends, artistic and cultural approaches, and the construction of some of the world's most famous buildings.
Cairo is also well-known for its Khepial Cairo area and its streets, which have that very central essence of Great Cairo. This stunning city is considered the cradle of civilization and the place where many scholars, novelists, and economical experts grew up.
The buses and the train running by Ramsis Square and old establishments, the buildings–everything that reminds you of Cairo in it.
