Over in Cairo workin for a few days.....My ride from the airport was a Peugeot 504 and every other taxi is either a Lada, old Renault or equally crumbly vehicle that should have gone to the scrappies years ago !
They all have dents like they participate in stock car racing after their shift
Noisey, smelly, frantic kinda place. People running around shouting, argueing...and that was the officials at the airport!
scary place to arrive at that time of night (0300)
Cars look like they belong in scrappies, its like a '70s retro fest, ladas, old fiat 127, 131,128, Peug 504's ,
In the dead of night lights are optional except when you drive up to the bumper of the car in front and flash lights\blow horn. No need for indicator either, just drive in wahtever lane or even across 2 lanes.
Horn seems to be attached to the accellerator as well....constant noise !
Will get some pics if I get a chance..
Cheers
Gerry
