Cairo: Life In Egypt Thousands Years After Pyramids | City Of Cars, Noise And Dust

Cairo is definitely a city of contrasts: the amazing beauty, architecture resembling movies about Aladdin and the rich history is combined with the terrible chaos and poverty. The traffic is insane, streets are dirty, public transport is always crowded, there is corruption, lack of education… At the same time, people here are warm-hearted and friendly.

Welcome to the capital of Egypt! Or, as I would call it, the capital of cars, dust and noise. But that’s me, some people are absolutely in love with the city. Maybe you will fall in love with it too?
