Grande mappa pittorica della città del Cairo in Egitto che presenta una curiosa distorsione prospettica che permette di identificare tutti i punti di interesse più importanti e specialmente di inserire una moltitudine di attività commerciali e i servizi aziendali, professionali e turistici proposti in città. Le carte di promozione degli interessi commerciali locali sono diventate popolari negli anni ’80 e ’90 e la particolarità di questa rappresentazione del Cairo è quella che contiene anche caricature degli stessi imprenditori a fianco delle loro attività. La vivacissima carta è completata da numerose e interessanti note di spiegazione in calce alle vignette. In basso a sinistra l’immancabile Piramide di Cheope e l’iconica Grande Sfinge di Giza. Disegnata dall’azienda canadese 3d Promotion inc. e pubblicata ad Alessandria d’Egitto presso la Litho L’ancre nel 1984.
