Cairo or Al-Qahirah (means The Vanquisher) was built by the Fattimed leader Jawhar Al Sekelly by order of Kalieff Al Moez Le'Deen El Allah on the site of Babylon near the ruins of ancient Memphis and has been the capital of Egypt since its construction one thousand years ago. Since that time Cairo has been expanded considerably until it has become the largest capital in Africa & the Arab world with a population of about 20 million, having a rich historical past.

Being in the heart of the city it encompasses many former cities and monuments like the Pyramids, early Christian monasteries and churches; the Citadel of Salah Al-Din and mosques of the Mamlouk and Ottoman Sultans.

Cairo is a mixture of many cultures such as Pharaonic, Greco Roman, Coptic and Islamic cultures that’s why it is a main centre for heritage and culture because it’s full of massive & uncountable number of monuments and treasures spread in Cairo and all over Egypt as well

No matter how many times you visit Cairo, no matter how chaotic, noisy and unpredictable it may seem to some, but regardless shortcomings, Cairo still preserve the qualities of the “Mother of the World” with its great hospitality and its tolerant people, and a visit to Cairo is rather a life defining experience.
