Set of lifts in a Cairo 5* hotel. Calling the lift is done by pressing a
centrally-located button in the lobby that requests a particular floor.
You are then directed to the relevant lift when it arrives. Once inside
the lift you can't "redirect" it to any additional floors. The lift
doors also *very* fierce. Snapping shut in less than a second with a
*whoosh* that looks like it would cut your appendages off (although I
didn't see anyone caught in them). I've never seen either of these
design features anywhere else.


If you visit Centre Point you will be given a magstripe card at the
reception desk. You put the card into a turnstile which tells you which
lift to use, and then that lift stops at whatever floors the people who
have been told to use it need to get to.
