Kinki Sharyo #6010
18 february 2010 - Cairo, El Matariya. We began our last day in Cairo with bad news - the CTA denied us access to the tram depots, because we were tourists, not businessmen. Nevertheless we decided that it would be worth giving it a shot, so we set off for Port Said depot to see what we could get out of the guys at the gate. We started our trip at El Matariya.

16 february 2010 - Cairo, El Matariya. This terminus is the most important point on the tramway network, because here is where most of the routes end. This is also one end of a 2km long access track to Port Said depot, which the trams sometimes need to traverse against the traffic flow. This also used to be a border point between the city and Heliopolis trams - the Heliopolis trams ended here, whereas the city trams ended 100m away, on the other side of the square. Initially the two weren't even connected - the connection was built when both networks were united under the auspices of the CTA.
