The new Government in Egypt has asked the city’s taxi drivers to sound their car horns as much as possible, whilst driving around Cairo. This will be part of a plan to help re-introduce some of the familiar sounds of the city in an effort to induce a return to the normality of day-to-day life, after the turmoil of the recent revolution.

Operation ‘toot ‘n calm ’em’ will last for the rest of the week.
