Since we live around the government buildings and embassies, taking pictures is prohibited. Such is the nature of a paranoid dictatorship. Even loitering in front of the Shoura Council or anywhere else will get you hassled on by the guards.
I sympathize, however. We live across the street from the Egyptian Social Fund for Development. Any and all precautions are necessary to protect it from spies and activists; I can only imagine the serious hard work that goes on inside that building to make Cairo's social welfare a reality.

Brilliant.
I didn't even know you were in Egypt until I stumbled upon your blog! That's awesome!
I guess I'll have to keep checking back. I'm jealous that you get to eat Arabic food all the time. I was all about La Shish until they got all sketchy.
Hope you're doing well!
