Introduced by MALIK MERCHANT
On Monday. April 17, 2023, Simerg’s sister website Simergphotos will launch a special 4-week series on Cairo — a city founded more than a 1000 years ago by the Fatimids, ancestors of the present 49th Hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, His Highness the Aga Khan.
Muslim Harji’s photographs will cover Islamic Cairo, the city’s popular foods including its street foods as well as the beautiful Al-Azhar Park that has captured the hearts of Cairo’s residents. He will conclude the series with photographs of his memorable visit to Aswan, the burial place of the 48th Ismaili Imam, Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah, His Highness the Aga Khan III (d. July 11, 1957.)
As a forerunner to the Cairo series, we invite our readers to view a selection of Muslim’s highly acclaimed photo essays that have appeared in Simerg and its sister blogs over the last decade. Muslim’s dazzling pictures will capture your imagination and leave a permanent mark on your minds.

Well done, Muslim. You are a gem! You put in a lot of work and effort to take wonderful shots. Thank you. Keep up the good work in sharing your travelogue with us!
A splendid album. Another journey with Muslim as he shares his insight and knowledge with us. Some of us are constantly hungry for stimulation. Muslim provides the intellectual and artistic fodder! He uses his expertise to share the finer points of photography. Well done.
Hello Navin and Muslim,
You with your travels have actually taken us with you and we are also travelling with you; thanks for that.
