The Quarter
Meet the people of Cairo’s Gamaliya quarter. There is Nabqa, son of Adam, the water seller 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.
