A single ticket to Cairo.

A Single Ticket to Cairo offers a unique narrative that explores the themes of marginalization and destiny through the journey of an ordinary person navigating a world beyond his capabilities.

Features of the Novel

• What if an ordinary person was exposed to conflicts beyond his capabilities and lived lives beyond his ambitions?
• A strange journey in which the hero travels alone in the early forties, starting from the far south to the Gezira Club in the heart of Cairo, and from the ancient Zamalek neighborhood to the ancient Abdeen alleys, then successive stops in Egyptian cities and European countries, so he does not always know where his last stop will be.
• This is how Ashraf Al-Ashmawy carefully chose his new creative field, to present us with a different novel with superior scenes and smooth narration, its hero, even if he is from a marginalized group, represents the majority, as we are all marginalized as long as we do not have the authority to determine our destiny or the ability to make decisions.
