we went to a huge football game at cairo stadium between two of the best teams in africa – ahly and zamalek (they are both from cairo). we got there at 6:30 pm even though the game didn’t start until 10 pm (so we could get a good seat). the reason it started so late is because all the players were fasting during ramadan and needed some time to rehydrate. it ended as a tie. the crowds were going to be crazy regardless of the outcome.
