This photograph was taken along the highway connecting Hurghada and Cairo, which crosses large stretches of uninhabited desert in eastern Egypt. Along this route, abandoned buildings are common, often remnants of incomplete or discontinued roadside and industrial developments.
In the background, wind turbines are visible. The Red Sea and Gulf of Suez region is one of Egypt’s main areas for wind power generation, due to its stable and strong wind conditions. These turbines are typically located far from residential zones.
