The open roads on both sides must leave that impression of Egypt.
The area where I live and the road leading to my office is actually out in the suburb outskirts of the city. It is still under plenty of development (roads widening, underground cable & underground drainage/sewage systems), so pavements and streets are still a few years off.
These same driving pics would look much more sophisticated and crowded in about 5 years or so. The city is developing in this direction at a rapid pace, and the real estate rates have shot up about 5-6 times in the past couple years.
