A short visit to the land of the pharaohs

I stopped over in Egypt – two days packed with impressions. I have published a couple of articles in my blog http://www.clemenssuter.com

The sun sets early in Cairo, a vey special sight. The light is yellow and exotic (although I guess the air pollution from the massive amounts of cars certainly also plays a role). I was on business, so had basically no time for sightseeing. Most of these pictures were taken in transit from A to B.

Massive amounts of Egyptian citizens move to Cairo, and high rises are constructed (in many cases illegally and without utilities) to house these new city dwellers. Economically, Egypt is under a lot of strain, but the people that I met are very engaged and extremely friendly.

The river Nile, beautiful by night – and day. Many people about, as the best soccer team was in town. I was approached by a gentleman who escorted me to a perfume store; Cairo is always open for business ;-)
