Was in Cairo in '85 during Operation Bright Star. Garbage, flies, filth, etc. it has got to be one of the dirtiest places I've ever seen. Some of those pictures of their recycling "storage areas" don't look much better than the regular areas of the city. The only nice parts were the tourist areas.

At least all their trash is in bags. Have you seen Bagdad?
