But Zamalek Island can be partially excluded from that statement, as the view from Cairo Tower includes spacious gardens. The pro-Cairo Eye mentality, which seeks to “take advantage of every inch and every person”, will have devastating effects that may soon make the view in Zamalek painful, like the of the rest of Cairo. The Cairo Eye will certainly challenge its sister in London in terms of prestige. But is the London Eye established at the entrance of a crowded neighborhood that cannot accommodate a large influx of visitors? And are the conditions of tourists and residents in Cairo the same as that of London?
