The Shoobra Drive and Cairo Harem Admiration Mentioned
A vivid travel sketch of the Shoobra road near Cairo describes its straight avenue lined with trees and palaces. It portrays a lively scene with the Khedive in a procession in a close carriage, the harem in view, and the dazzling but artificial beauty of the women, contrasted with notes on the Egyptian spectacle and urban life. The piece closes with a brief rural advisory on controlling caterpillars using gas tar as a remedy.
