This is a video of a marketplace in Egypt. These are VERY common. Shopkeepers stand/sit outside their shop...often smoking hookah, asking you to "come in my friend." This was more of a tourist-type one, but you get the point.
Besides the car (which is mostly used by those in Cairo), it seems the donkey, camel, and horse are the most popular forms of travel. Here in lower Egypt, that is certainly the case. Here is a video of us taking a horse carriage to a temple in Edfu.
Want to know what traditional music sounds like in Egypt? Here is video of a local "band." This music is traditional to the Middle East but particularly to southern Egypt. This is in the town of Aswan.
Most of Egypt is comprised of big, dry, and boring deserts. But they call the Nile River, the river of life for a reason. Look how green it is. You can also hear our tour guide in the background. He's classic. If you look closely, you can also see several towers of the local mosques in Luxor.
