Comparing Georgetown community with Egypt’s Khan Al-Khalili

Cairo – Georgetown is one of the most vibrant and dynamic spots in Washington D.C. Not only do I maintain this impression due to being the first place I explored outside the area that I lived in back in 2013, but also because its glamour takes the Washingtonians themselves by storm.
In late 2013, being newcomer to Washington D.C., my roommate and I went to buy the stuff necessary to our apartment during the fall semester. We picked and chose the Georgetown neighborhood which is reputed to be a great commercial place that is pretty expensive, yet of a good quality. Besides it is in the vicinity of our place 7 minutes driving, and circa 25 minutes by public transportation.

Art galleries & wonderful variety of museums

Georgetown blends history, industry and funk

The Georgetown neighborhood is geographically situated along the Potomac River on the south and Glover Park on the north. The Georgetown University circumscribes the western end of it, and the Rock Creek to the east. Georgetown is endowed with many places of parkland and green space that provide recreation for its dwellers and safeguard it against the exhausts emitted by industrial factories in the adjacent neighborhoods. On my visit to the Georgetown area, I decided to explore the area by myself. It seemed to me that the buildings still get its splendid look even though they were established many years ago. Georgetown’s design is peculiar to the historical attractions, pretty residential streets, shopping, and dining. Georgetown enjoys many sightseeing spots that make tourists revel in wandering around them over and over. Lots of art galleries and wonderful variety of museums which are easy to miss. The primary commercial corridors of Georgetown are M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, whose high fashion stores draw large numbers of tourists as well as local shoppers year-round. There is also the Washington Harbor complex on K Street, on the waterfront, aligned with outdoor bars and restaurants popular for viewing boat races.

Khan Al-Khalili is one of the most famous commercial sites in Cairo, the nation’s capital of Egypt. As it is said, if you go to Egypt without passing by Khan Al-Khalil to buy antiques and pharaohic statutes in miniature, it will be tantamount to be missing a great deal.
