The opening of the collection introduces Lady Duff Gordon's journey and her immediate impressions of Cairo, where she finds herself immersed in a vibrant world characterized by kindness and warmth in stark contrast to the poverty and social disparities that abound. Her letters portray her interactions with locals, the warmth of her servant Omar, and her observations of cultural practices, all while highlighting the contrasts between her privileged experience as a foreign woman and the day-to-day struggles of the native population.
