Cairo

The traffic is horrendous. The smog is worse than Los Angeles. The firepower is there, at places that matter. Protecting tourists from Islamic crazies is a major priority. A visitor is worth around £50 a day. Pictures of dead tourists cost millions.  Twitter has its uses too, just like  Facebook, Youtube et al.
