Cairo in Egypt – Where Modern Meets Ancient

Cairo (القاهرة al-Qāhirah) is the capital of Egypt, a country in North East Africa. Cairo is one of the word’s great ancient cities. Its location on the Nile River, right where Africa meets the Middle East, has been a crucial stopping point for traders and explorers for thousands of years.

Cairo is known for its rich history that dates back to the 7th century AD, but Cairo is also a thriving metropolis of 16 million people. It’s one of the largest cities in Africa and in the Middle East – and there are no shortage of things to do in Cairo.
