I don't know how legible this is, but this is a 1993 advertisement for the El Zahraa stud farm in Cairo. I just love the photo they used. The facility is very large and has extremely high stone walls. Child beggars and trash filled the streets around it, while inside, grooms in spotless white uniforms cared for horses that typically sold only to rich Gulf Arabs. Not a speck of litter, and all palm trees trimmed and meticulously white-washed ten feet up from the ground.
Just inside the massive iron gates

Every country has its very rich and its very poor, but it is definitely a chasm between them in Egypt.
