What is it with me and the boot? Twice in JC and now once in Cairo, during one of the few times that I was in a private car.
There's nowhere to park in this city. Freelance parking assistants hang around and guard spots, guide drivers into the spots, then demand baksheesh.

I love that second photo!
How much did you have to pay Giggles to take his photo?
I paid the man with a nice cheery smile! He seemed pleased.
I always thought the blue-coated parking boys in Morocco were just on the blag, but closer inspection of a guide book revealed they are actually sanctioned by the government and are semi-official. I wonder whether it is the same in Cairo or whether these blokes are just chancing it...
