I agree. I had no idea that it was that developed. The shot from the plane is amazing. What is the population of Cairo?

EBMCS03, that is why i like to show those pics, because many people also think Egypt is desert and camels..lol, Good ol' media at work! You know Egypt has the most Registered Mercedes Benz in the world, there if you have money you either drive a benz or a bimmer..lol Thats where i fell in love with the 5 series! There are soooooooooo many of them, 520's i think, except they cost 3 times as much as here
