Journey to Cairo City

After the Alexandria visit, we the headed to the capital of Egypt, Cairo.
We went there by a tourist bus, and I snapped everything that I find it interesting.
On our way to the big city of Cairo!
*2 shots above are taken by Lomo LCA+ Camera.
Here started the long long highway, I shoot as we move along,
I didnt even know where were we, but I could totally see how some of their people live in the wild wide dry sandy big dessert.
It was dried and the houses were even unfinished.
However I still could the the TV satelite.
Surprising!
The beauty of Egypt is still the bright blue sky with the least clouds floating around.
After the 3 hours' journey from Alexandria.
Maybe not many people know that the 3 biggest and most famous pyramids could be seen from the road in the town, but here are they... Clearly seen from the road.
Now let's observe the Faces of Cairo.
Starting with their life style,
With how they earn for their living.
For them,
Not every kids has an opportunity to go to school.
Here are some shots of some poor and rich sides of Cairo,
River was polluted.
Buildings are quite old, but some of them are rich too.
Here are shots of the rich sides of City Cairo.
Cairo is a pretty city.
The is the Cairo Tower, and the world famous Nile River.
Taxis in Cairo city are painted in black and white,
whilst taxis in Alexandria are painted in black and yellow.
And they have several types of transportation,
Cars of course.
And animals like Camels, donkeys, and horses that are still widely use as either transportation or tourist attraction purposes.
Huh~~~ What a nice country to visit.
