Sometimes, just sometimes, the KZbin algorithm will award us with random gold-nugget videos like this one. The ending is beyond wholesome. Even though I've only known you for 28 minutes and 6 seconds, I wish you nothing but the best. Salute from Egypt and congrats on your daughter's wedding mate.

I was in Cairo for transit for 20 hours, I remember Attaba was the name of the metro line going to Tahrir square. It made sense for a quick trip from the airport to the museum and back. If they make good suits for cheap and are closeby, there might be a good business idea there.
