1. Intro
Cairo
Cairo, or Al Qahira is the capital city of Egypt – Um El Dunia as it’s called. With
over 12 million people just living in Cairo, it is bigger than a lot of countries. The
crowded streets and breathtaking sights and views are what make Cairo the most
wonderful city of Egypt. Although there are other cities like Sharm El sheikh and
Hurghada that have luxurious resorts but they don’t have the history and the
pride like Cairo. It is the largest city in the Middle East and Africa and lies at the
center of all the routes leading to and from the three continents, Asia, Europe and
Africa. It extends on the banks of the Nile River to the south of its delta. It is the
city where the past and present meet.
