Wekalet al-bala7

It is called wekalet albala7 or wikalet albala7 or weklaet el-bala7 or elbala7 or just el wekala. It is located near the 23 july street ( Isaaf area) . It is like a big super market and bargain where you can get clothes, used car spare parts.
the arabic name is وكالة البلح which literally means the agency of the dates.I knew that this name is due to the fact that people were trading the dates during the old time ( may be the pharonic time or later). It is near to the NIle side by the way.

I think  The majority of people women. They like super markets. But I think this place if for the moderate class people in Egypt.

Climate change, or perhaps overgrazing, desiccated the pastoral lands of Egypt to form the Sahara desert, possibly as long ago as 8000 BC, and the inhabitants then presumably migrated to the river, where they developed a settled agricultural economy and a more centralized society.
