Maadi streets 20120410.MOV

Maadi is a world apart, a green village South of Cairo. In a sense it is very un-Egyptian, and one could easily think oneself somewhere in the US. The woord al-Maadi means 'the fords', or 'the ferries', the places where you can cross the water, which here is the Nile, of course. But the name is also translatable as 'the ways out, the escapes', and al-Maadi is that as well, certainly as compared to Cairo downtown. This film was taken in the early morning of Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Everybody is on the road in order to get to his or her work.
