We went to Sadat's wedding last night. Sadat is a famous Egyptian musician, making music that is commonly described as 'shaabi' (for the people), although he prefers to call it 'mahragan' (festival).

Sadat hails from a poor satellite city of Cairo called Medinat El Salam. He hosted a big party there to celebrate his wedding. Everybody was invited and as you can see for yourself in the videos below, it was pretty crazy.
Best. Wedding. Ever.

On the way back we were pretty much blind from all the strobe lights and deaf from the music that was blasting at super loud volume all evening. Crazy crazy crazy. If I ever get married, all these people are invited.
