"Cairo Egypt Has No Traffic Lights and No Traffic Signs"

That's right. Cairo Has No Traffic Lights and No Traffic Signs. You share the streets with buses, cars, donkey carts, scooters, cycles, pedestrians and horse drawn carriages. It is an adrenaline rush simply crossing a street. I know this is not an artistic photo. However, in order to grasp this place, you need to see this photo of the traffic.

Cairo has a population of about 7.7 million people, while its metropolitan area has a population of about 17.285 million people.[1] Cairo is the sixteenth most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is also the most populous metropolitan area in Africa.[2]

Anita,
Surprisingly, the Egyptians seem to make all this traffic function smoothly. They've learned to cooperate. If all traffic signals died in Los Angeles, everyone would probably start shooting each other. I took this photo from a freeway bridge. By the way, the freeway is shared with donkey carts and horses and they make u turns on it.

Thanks for adding Giza Pyramid and Camels; Camel Caravan in Egypt; Greenland Glaciers and Coast to your favourites.
Andy
