The Yacoubian Building holds all that Egypt was and has become over the 75 years since its namesake was built on one of downtown Cairo's main boulevards. Each sharply etched character embodies a facet of modern Egypt, a land where political corruption, ill-gotten wealth, and religious hypocrisy are natural allies.
