16 february 2010 - Giza (EG) - Media City. A wooden tram in a wooden street. All the buildings are totally false - one of several purpose-built film sets built here in the desert near Cairo. The electric tramway here was specially created a few years ago as part of an area representing old Alexandria. It uses this typical 1930s Belgian-built tram from Cairo, which is in working order (or was, until we broke it). It's one of the very few historic trams left in Egypt.

..as I've been watching your pictures from there - I thought that every tram in Egypt is kind of "historic"
Yes, but not intentionally historic - just old and completely worn out! This one is one of the very last survivors of the Belgian era. Other fabulous stuff has all gone with no thought given to its historic importance - articulated Tatras, American PCCs, etc. - very sad.
