A stunning cityscape Galal! The image shows crisp and clear, without too much sharpness. Quite often a lot of people's city images seem to suffer from over sharpness. This one is perfect!

As the first I must say this is very great shot!
Dear Galal,
I haven´t been here long weeks, reason why I didn´t appear sooner is for sure well known from my last images :) but I am happy to find here new of your lovely and great Egyptian images, ´cause I missed such sunny pictures during last moths.
Best greetings to you, Galal.

Dear Noor, actually I always try to approach any topic from an optimistic point of view
And I don't want to focus only on bad issues, because there is always beauty around.
I understand that we don't have a clear architecture style these days or even a proper urban planning, but we shouldn't neglect our political situation that causing this chaos that you mention, and the ordinary Egyptian man won't feel about any architecture beauty as long as all his expectations is to ensure his basic daily needs!
I've also mentioned that we have a mix between crowed rubbish buildings and old rich ones, but my previous comment was not about the quality of the architecture we have, I just want to address that skyline doesn't have to be formed of beautiful buildings or skyscrapers to be pretty, sometimes this crowded condition we have reproduce a new kind of beauty… but we have to look for it.
At the end of the day this is my opinion... or may be I just love my homeland :)
Best regards,

thanks Mosti for expressing your opinion clearly
What culture you are talking about? can you identify even the identity of egyptian architecture, unlike the bedouin or nubian architecture, egyptian has no identity, extremely chaotic based on finance and politics, has no relation to beauty or human scale
After a long study about perception, i can say to you that it is not relative at all, the problem is that the ordinary man in Egypt is get used to see ugly buildings, and they don't appreciate beauty in architecture because simple they used to ignore it, and they have nothing to compare to.
And ofcourse i asked non Egyptians, professors from all over the world, and we always discuss this issue of mass-housing and ugliness
Also i could give you all the readings that prove that there is an objective beauty when it comes to architecture, not relative to culture or time.

Nice topic Noor to discuss, but I totally disagree with you
Architecture reflects culture, and we have a crowded and rich culture, and that doesn't make it ugly or pretty.
Beauty is always relative, of course there are some standards which you can use to measure beauty, but even these standards changes through time and culture.
I think we can ask non-Egyptian users here in UF if they have the same reaction about Egyptian sky line, or may be we can ask UF Staff for a new Sky-line project
I mean a different point of view… could help sometimes

good picture although i hate the buildings so much, i hate the architecture.
I took alot of pictures like this from every top of all the highest buildings in the area, i was young doing my researches, so i had alot of pictures for the architecture from above, but when i began to appreciate the beauty in photography, i stop taking pics for this ugly chaotic skyline we have.
I mean look at paris skyline, Bruge in belgium, even berlin in germany or Varna in bulgaria, there was something beautiful to capture, even in Ulus Altindag in Ankara in turkey which is a very poor area has some potential
It is better in Egypt to take pics in Darb Al Ahmar than to take this stuff
Anyway, best wishes for you

Salam Alekom, Beautiful shot Galal, thought is was the Nile Hilton for a second but of course there's a road out front of the Hilton so it's not but kind looks like it a bit. We always stay at the Sheraton so this must be further down the Nile. Very nice work my friend, Reminds me of how beautiful it is. Maa El Salama, Mark
