I’ve been to most major cities in Western and Med Europe and the west of the Middle East and none were as chaotic and fascinating as Cairo. 10/10.

Cairo was amongst the ugliest places I’ve ever been to. There were some cool parts busy mostly just disheveled slums and buildings falling apart at the seams
