The last Supermoon in #2015
In a very rare occasion, we had a Supermoon with Christmas and it was amazing. I read that it does not happen except ever thre decades so I guess we were lucky.
This is the last supermoon in 2015.
I took those couple of photos in my house in Giza.
![]()
The sky looked amazing in those couple of nights and surprisingly I saw many stars, we are not used seeing in the heart of the city.
I kept trying to snap shots in the cold night for the stars, but I failed.
Nevertheless, I learned good couple things in stars photography from my bad photos.
We had a lucky year when it comes to celestial photography with bluemoon as well the not-so-red moon in addition to solar eclipse.

Watch this : Batoul's Khartoum Restaurant in Cairo
Watch this short report about Cairo's Khartoum Sudanese restaurant in the heart of the Egyptian busy capital.
Khartoum restaurant is said to be the first Sudanese restaurant in Cairo that was inaugurated in 1986 by a Sudanese couple that fled South Sudan.
The video report is produced by Qoll website, it is very interesting and with English subtitles.
Here is the Arabic report by Sally about the restaurant which has become a very popular place for Sudanese in the crowded Cairo.
What I love about this report is showing how Mrs. Batoul continued to operate the restaurant after her husband Sala Bashir successfuly. Also how it is not only a restaurant but it turned out to become a part of hotel or hostel for the Sudanese in Cairo.
Now I have my doubts that this is Cairo's first Sudanese restaurant as the Sudanese community has been Egypt's largest community for a long time since the time Egypt and Sudan were one kingdom.
May be there were old Sudanese restaurants in Cairo during the time of the Kingdom that were closed later.
Also there could be other old Sudanese restaurants in governorates other than Cairo.
Anyhow with a quick search online , I found out that the Khartoum restaurant is the oldest restaurant in Cairo in Al-Attaba popular area uniting Sudanese from Sudan and South Sudan over food. Already this small restaurant turned in 20 years the street it is located at in to a "Sudan street".
Currently , Khartoum restaurant got a competition from other three restaurants in the same area as welll more than 5 cafes for Sudanese.
I do not think that Mr. Salah Bashir and his wife thought that they would be inaugrating actually a little Khartoum in the heart of Cairo when they came in early 1980s.
