Amal, he was joking when he said that, Benouk village is between Shourouk and Atabaa. Shourouk touristic village is right before Al Bonouk touristic village 42nd km the west coast of Alexandria(Sa7el), and it is followed by Carribiano Village(i live there), so when he said Atabaa, which is in Cairo, he was absolutely joking. as for Borto asout, i have never heard of it.

Olfat, thank you for your input. In two different places in the text, someone says he is in "borto asout." He says it in a very straightforward way when someone asks him where he is. He's leaving "borto asout" to visit his friend who lives in a village called Benouk, which (according to the text) is between Shorouk and Atbaa. He's leaving "borto asout" at kilo 85 and will make the trip to Benouk, which is located at kilo 42. Maybe this could shed some light on what is meant by "porto asout."

Hi Amel, could you please provide more context for the "borto asout" part? Because maybe they are sarcastically talking about Assiut, which is a southern Egyptian governorate.
