About Cairo
Cairo, al-Qāhirah, is the capital and largest city of Egypt. Located near the Nile Delta, Cairo is the centre of the region's political and cultural life and is fondly known as "the city of a thousand minarets" due to its preponderance of Islamic architecture. Egyptians also refer to Cairo as Misr, the Egyptian Arabic name for Egypt itself, emphasising the city's importance for the country.
