you can also find old books in the madbouly bookstores all over cairo. if you want you can tell me some of the titles you are looking for and i will check them. i go there often

If you knew some locations of those bookstores i would really appreciate that! For now I dont have that many old books, but i do have to old qurans from the 17th century. But I would like to gather more books. would really appreciate it if you could help me find those stores with old books.
thanks in advance,
Sara

hey 7aya, I will come soon to cairo inshallah, just a matter of short time. you see I am very interested in old poetry from old britain also in old books with quotations and phrases, old arabic history and also old arabic poetry.
Its not a specific book I am looking for but its in these subjects i would like to find them in. (sorry for my writing, my fingers hurts :S) You dont have to trouble yourself with finding the books, if you have the adress i can visit when I come to cairo.

thanks in advance,

I know the Cairo Book Fair has old english & arabic books, but that's only once a year (february i think). But I heard that the book-sellers in the Cairo Book Fair have stores in a place called Ataba. That's all I know though Sorry

Crimedy I have been wondering were in Attaba they have the public bookstore that is sponsored by Suzanne Mubarak. Mostly academic books but all titles are in Arabic language.

I am wondering because he happened to stumble upon it and now none of use remember the address or how to get there.
