Reserving Parking Places



Parking in Egypt is really hard, and that's why it is normal to see people reserving places in the streets for their cars by planting a metal rods, or leaving some rocks in the street to reserve it. But this Petroleum Company in Maady decided to put dozens of signs in the streets with the names of every single manager there in order to reserve a parking place for his car.
