[Leica] IMG : Cairo - Souk - People 2 - Douglas B

[Philippe]

Thanks all.


Douglas, 
Megaphone - I DK - could be a muezin of sorts as well?
Headlamp : You’d be scared to death as I was if you travelled by road over there. We landed at night, and the cab that took us to the hotel had no lights on at all. The other vehicles neither, including "donkey powered" carts on the ring-road ...

We later were driven from Aswan to the Red Sea ending by night - an 8 hours’ bumpy ride that one was - Occasionally the driver would flash his headlights but that was only when the road was a best of of the worst potholes on earth, or had simply completely vanished,  buried, forever?, under a newly formed dune … 

OTT : our guide had warned us, I quote : «  Here we drive on the right hand side of the road. We also drive on the left-hand side. And we drive in the middle of the road too «  ….

I believe I have shots of traffic somewhere, that I could find and post later.
