The road to work

Since I live on the south side of Cairo and work in the north part of the city, I have a pretty long commute to work every day. Usually it takes about half an hour each way, during which we pass the City of the Dead (sort of like a giant cemetery, I'll write more on it later), run-down apartment buildings, the ancient citadel, mosques, a giant quarry, brand new buildings, gas stations, shops and just about anything else you can think of, even pyramids in the distance. I took a few pictures along the way. Apologies if they're fuzzy; since I ride in an armored vehicle to and from work, the windows don't roll down.
