Seen in Cairo : The last days of Maspero triangle

Demolishing a house
A house demolished in Maspero project as part of the Egyptian government to renovate the area
It is one of those last days of Maspero triangle.
Cairo’s Downtown has been witnessing its biggest demolishment operation ever in the 21st century as the Egyptian government goes on with its project to develop the old poor area turned into a shanty town after a long struggle with its residents.

The Egyptian government hopes the area that hosted very old residential building for 200 years to be turned in to a financial center.
Time will tell.

  4. thats okay Jason. Zeinab: - I think the old coke machines could easily find a home in the West too, for rather big money these days. There are so many really old signs, and coke machines everywhere in Egypt, its quite fascinating to visit there, you are bound to bump into them from north to south.
