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.

Misraim was the son of Ham, in Hebrew mythology. - Esoterically - the word Egypt is derived from the first letters for the essence colours Emerald Green, Yellow, Pink, Turquoise (E-G-Y-P-T) which are the colours associated with the ancient 32 foot tall egyptians that originally came from the stars and lived in Egypt before the flood ... those that delve into these mysteries will see these essence colours appearing electrically so there must be some truth to this... - The name Misr is a Semiticized form of Ancient Egyptian: Medjr = walled district Medjre = tower, fortress These Ancient Egyptian words became Meetsrayeem [Egypt] and Meetsree [Egyptian] in Hebrew, and in Arabic; Misr and Masri respectively. It is the same as Westerners calling China, China, afte
