The Cairo Governor began to clear street vendors from Downtown Cairo, where they had filled up both pavements and streets, the vendors have been relocated to Turgoman, a parking complex located about 15 minutes away from the original place for vendors. Turgoman is almost completely abandoned. It is off the beaten path and few actively seek it out. The vendors in Turgoman, who were assigned numbers for spaces in the parking lot, complained that no one would be interested in coming, partially because it did not look like a market.
Meanwhile, many shopkeepers in Downtown Cairo seem happy with the change. they said that it was good that the vendors were moved because they blocked the roads Downtown and caused traffic. He also states that some of them were thugs and behaved badly with customers and passers by.
The absence of street vendors in Downtown Cairo today is maintained by a strong security presence. In streets, policemen are stationed at each end, and the entrances to the street are blocked off by metal barriers. 
The police presence is also an attempt to circumvent a possible comeback by the vendors, who had been removed in the past and still come managed to come back to the streets of Downtown Cairo.
Now downtown Cairo is very beautiful place and returend back to its historical value, and you can freely walk and touch the presence of old Cairo.
