More photos from Egypt



Headed home through the back streets after a hard day's work at the pyramids



On the street beside the car wash (all done by hand for next to nothing. The bananas are grown between Cairo and Alex and are excellent.




A glimpse of a tok tok as it buzzed by - note the decorations on the windscreen



The building sort of next door goes up floor by floor - this is how they do it in Egypt - each floor is hand mixed and poured by the way...




Roasted sweet potato - delicious!



McDelivery? Yes McDonalds comes home delivered and it really is called McDelivery!



One of the main intersections along El Nil Corniche, taken from high up in the Ramses Hilton. Note the traffic on the flyover



The more the merrier



Traffic in Faysal Street , Al Haram (Pyramids) area



Cafe life - men only usually - enjoying the sheesha




The bazaar (yes, a market really is called a bazaar.) Seeing the guys ride around on pushbikes with the trays of bread on their heads is incredible - amazing balance as they weave quickly through the traffic and pedestrians.
