Cairo ( /ˈkaɪroʊ/ kye-roh; Arabic: القاهرة‎ al-Qāhira,literally "The Vanquisher" or "The Conqueror", is the capital of Egypt and the second largest city in the Muslim World, the Arab world and Africa and the 16th largest metropolitan area in the world. Nicknamed "The City of a Thousand Minarets" for its preponderance of Islamic architecture, Cairo has long been a centre of the region's political and cultural life. Cairo was founded by the Fatimid dynasty in the 10th century AD.; but the land composing the present-day city was the site of national capitals whose remnants remain visible in parts of Old Cairo. Cairo is also associated with Ancient Egypt due to its proximity to the ancient cities of Memphis, Giza and Fustat which are nearby to the Great Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza.

Egyptians today often refer to Cairo as Maṣr (Arabic: مصر‎), the Arabic pronunciation of the name for Egypt itself, emphasizing the city's continued role in Egyptian influence. Cairo has the oldest and largest film and music industries in the Arab World, as well as the world's second-oldest institution of higher learning, al-Azhar University. Many international media, businesses, and organizations have regional headquarters in the city, and the Arab League has had its headquarters in Cairo for most of its existence.

Simply stunning :drool::drool::drool:m

Cairo even with it's endless ugly brick houses, pollution, traffic, messy pavements and decaying facades is still one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
It is in my opinion one of the few "grand" cities in the world - having nothing to envy to the heritage of Paris or London IMO -, and if the Pyramids are counted no other city in History has such a variety of grand monuments from so many different times.

Islamic Cairo is simply stunning - my favorite part of town and the area of Bursa reminds me of Alexandria in the sense that it talks of old times which can be felt like nowhere else, not even in Europe, where everything has become too plastic.

Awwww one of my dreams is to have a small apartment either in Islamic Cairo or Tahrir-Bursa area..........I love Cairo!

Cairo loves you too. :hug:
