Innovation is everywhere.

Anything you can imagine is possible. See how the guy below adapted his car and converted it into his very own Jeep!


Basket pulley systems

In Egypt, most people live in apartment buildings. Often, without elevators. To avoid going up and down the stairs, many of the apartments on the upper floors have devised fabulous pulley systems to bring things up and down from below.

Al Azhar Park

Al Azhar Park was a project by the Aga Khan foundation, a fabulous undertaking, a gorgeous reclaimed green space in Cairo. Beautiful proximity to the Citadel, Khan el Khalili and the heart of Cairo - from Al Azhar park you have a stunning view of Cairo, and on a clear day you can even see the pyramids. Great restaurants and cafes, children's playgrounds, beautiful gardens filled with fresh herbs, summer plays and music concerts, and even statues made of out of the recycled waste from the previous dump that was in the location. Fa-bu-lous.
