## Caption

Photo by davidemonteleonestudio | Egypt, 2011. This year marks a decade since the Arab Spring, when protests rose up across the Middle East and North Africa. This is a view of Cairo from the Zamalek area. Back then, Cairo was embroiled in political turmoil; I was there during the trial of former president Hosni Mubarak. I witnessed a country in serious distress, consumed by the crisis. Follow davidemonteleonestudio for more about this and other stories. #egypt #arabspring
