cairo traffic

We all hate Cairo traffic and how suffocating it could be! We spend hours and hours in our cars every day, we could literally start making up stories and creating super inventions. Sometimes however, we encounter some of the most ironic situations that for a few moments take our minds off the endless jam.

When it’s suddenly a good idea to pick someone up while you’re stuck in traffic..
