Cairo is a city you cannot be prepared for when you come from a Western country and never been to a metropole from an Eastern country. I was overwhelmed for the whole two days I was there. Compared to Cairo, London is an idyllic country side village. The noises, smells and traffic are simply off the chart. Wow.

Photo out of the window of a plane by night. Berween the curved window frame and the round plane engine are the streets of Cairo visible. Two main roads are brightly illuminated by streetlights. One from top to bottom, one from roughly side to side. Between them endless lights and smaler roads are sprinkling light into the dark. On the right side of the picture the lights are white. In the distance near the horizon the lights are more orange. In the closer part at the edge of the window countless sky scrapers stand out in multicoloured purple, blue and green light, as if their whole structure has been eqipped with fairy lights.
Photo taken from the backseat of a car during day. Between the rear-view mirror (equipped with trinkets and a tree-shaped air freshener) and the dashboard you can see a wide road filled with a traffic jam of an endless amount of cars. The middle of the road is marked by a prominent big stone step. Right next to the car ahead, a woman in wide black clothing sits on that step. She holds a small child on her lap and a broken green umbrella over her head to protect them from the sun. Full plastic bags sit in front of her. She seems unconcerned in the middle of the traffic. In the distance beyond the cars sand coloured limestone houses rise up and on top of a hill sits the impressive Alabaster Mosque or Muhammad Ali Mosque with its bright round domes and high minarets. Everything looks muted and dusty, even the blue sky above.
