City of the Dead, Cairo, a vast area that's both a mausoleum for the dead and a vibrant informal place for the living.

It's great! Quite an achievement to make nearly 3 hours fly by. The last car chase was so brilliantly choreographed.

The American University in Cairo, a stunning campus in an entirely new city being built next to the old one. It's designed by Ricardo Legorreta, CDC AbdelHalim, and Sasaki and Associates.

Pigeon towers of Cairo. Wonderful vernacular structures found all over the informal areas of the city and sometimes taller than the houses they sit on.

The unique St Mary's church in Wreay, Cumbria. It was built between 1840 and 1842 by Sarah Losh in a style that has no comparison and which still seems a century ahead of itself. Could be described as proto-Arts-and-Crafts or even surrealist Gothic.
