This is a remarkably interesting establishment, in the center of Cairo, with huge fields of crops being grown for their genetic potential, and a welter of ongoing research. It was a place abuzz with activity.
My short visit was to the Herbarium, which is small but immaculately appointed, and focuses on wild relatives of Egyptian plants.
... extremely highly organised cabinet and folders ... the entrance and office facility ... and a sample specimen
Dr R. Rizk hosted my visit and has been immensely kind in escorting me throughout my travels in Cairo, while introducing me to street markets and Cairo Public Transport,, the latter at least I should have had no hope of successfully venturing out onto, without his help.
