Metropolis of Cairo

Metropolis of Cairo
Even an aerial view does not fully capture the immense size and labyrinthine patterns of Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Automobiles speed along multilayered highways and modern high-rise buildings tower over the city's avenues. But donkey carts are a common sight, and mud-brick buildings line the back streets.
