There is lot of differences between the urban parts of Egypt and the rural parts of Egypt, anything form climate, economy, lifestyle, architecture, vegetation... The most significant difference, that is most commonly referred, is the economic difference. People in the urban areas (Cairo, Alexandria, Giza) have bigger incomes and much more opportunities for work and better wage. On the other hand, people from the rural areas are restricted to agriculture, they are totally dependent on it, and when there's economic disturbance they are always the ones the suffer the most.
