treatment,” it means you are being treated well.</span> <span data-start-time='6938' data-end-time='16604'>But Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi took the red carpet treatment to the extreme last Saturday. </span> <span data-start-time='16604' data-end-time='20146'>And people are talking about it on social media.</span> <span data-start-time='20146' data-end-time='26979'>One writer for Buzzfeed says Sisi “does things high-end or not at all.”</span> <span data-start-time='26979' data-end-time='39250'>The Egyptian government “rolled out” a four-kilometer-long red carpet for the last leg of Sisi’s visit to a public housing project outside Cairo.</span> <span data-start-time='39250' data-end-time='45000'>One Egyptian made an estimate of how much the carpet might have cost. </span> <span data-start-time='45000' data-end-time='55021'>He thought it probably covered 32,000 square meters, which would have cost about $190,000.</span> <span data-start-time='55021' data-end-time='66917'>An Egyptian military general went on television to explain that the government was using existing carpets, and the government did not purchase the material.</span> <span data-start-time='66917' data-end-time='72979'>But even still, people enjoyed poking fun at the outlandish display.</span> <span data-start-time='72979' data-end-time='84333'>Most people made the point that Sisi was making a speech about the need for all Egyptians to cut costs while using a very high-priced-looking red carpet.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky'
