The Streets of Cairo (1905). a while ago
0 People have been here:
Description:
Part of "the Trail," the concourse of more amusement park-esque entertainments at the 1905 Expo, which one walked down before crossing the Bridge of Nations out to the Federal Exhibit in the middle of Guilds Lake (the Trail was built on pylons over Guilds Lake).

Other than the mammoth "Carnival of Venice," the Streets of Cairo amusement was the biggest on the Trail in terms of floorspace. By passing through it I think you could get the nearby Chutes.

This & a lot of the exhibits & entertainments at the 1905 Expo sum up to a sort of proto-Epcot Center. At least here you could get a Turkish coffee (presumably).
