Some of the Most Insane Tram Footage from Alexandria, Egypt (2022)In all my travels I have never seen such an interesting system of old trams battling all kinds of vehicles, pedestrians, markets and trash for space. I applaud Alexandria for maintaining its tram network but some improvements are desired. - Want to use my footage in your videos? Email me at timpatsuk1@gmail.com and I can provide the raw files from this video (without the filmed by "Timothy Migliore") overlay for a fee.
