Believe It, To See It

My mouth gapped open the first time I saw it but now it just makes me giggle. However, Egyptians don't think it's humorous but the way of life. 

Transporting goods is always stuffed to the rim. 
I really think its miracle the trucks don't tumble over. Usually traffic is quite tight, but once you see this many cars stay away of fear of the truck falling to one side.

Another thing that forms the O from your mouth, is how Egyptians pack people onto the back of a pick-up truck. And these days it's just plain crazy with Coronavirus. However , it is done still every day.


Or when driving along the city streets of Cairo you can spot whole families on a motorbike or moped. I'm not talking just 3 people but the whole family of 5 at times.


But by far my favourite transportation in Egypt is the horse and cart. The clippy clop of hoofs down the street is music to my ears. Farmers selling their fresh fruit and vegetables or canisters of gas being transported and sold.
What a sight to see a horse and cart trotting beside a BMW or Mercedes. Never anywhere else but Egypt,  the wonderful fascinations of Egypt transportation.
