Restaurants selling shawerma, roasted chicken, tabula, and fattoush are on each corner of the street. In the shops, you can find Syrian-made olive oil, halloumi and labenah cheese, and zataar. The zataar is packed into small bags that read: “Egyptian industry made with Syrian hands.” Syrian and Egyptian families walk in and out of the stores, and gather to eat at the restaurants in what has become known as the “little Damascus”, a Syrian neighbourhood of 6th of October City. - See more at: http://www.dailynewsegypt.com/2014/09/18/little-damascus-cairo/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DailyNewsEgypt+(Daily+News+Egypt)#sthash.aYLGZIVm.dpuf
