Cairo, romanized: al-Qāhirah, Egyptian Arabic is the capital and largest city of Egypt and the Cairo Governorate, being home to more than 10 million people.It is also part of the largest urban agglomeration in Africa, the Arab world, and the Middle East. The Greater Cairo metropolitan area is one of the largest in the world by population with over 22.1 million people. The area that would become Cairo was part of ancient Egypt, as the Giza pyramid complex and the ancient cities of Memphis and Heliopolis are near-by. Located near the Nile Delta, the predecessor settlement was Fustat following the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 641 next to an existing ancient Roman fortress, Babylon. Subsequently, Cairo was founded by the Fatimid dynasty in 969. It later superseded Fustat as the main urban centre during the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods (12th–16th centuries). Cairo has since become a longstanding centre of political and cultural life, and is titled "the city of a thousand minarets" for its preponderance of Islamic architecture. Cairo's historic center was awarded World Heritage Site status in 1979.[9] Cairo is considered a World City with a "Beta +" classification according to GaWC.[10] Cairo has the oldest and largest film and music industry in the Arab world, as well as Egypt's oldest institution of higher learning, Al-Azhar University. Many international media, businesses, and organizations have regional headquarters in the city; the Arab League has had its headquarters in Cairo for most of its existence. <h3>🌟 Top Attractions in Cairo:</h3> <h4>🏛 Giza Pyramids &amp; The Great Sphinx</h4> Located on the outskirts of Cairo, the Giza Plateau is home to the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World — the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure — along with the iconic Sphinx. <h4>🏺 The Egyptian Museum</h4> In Tahrir Square, this world-famous museum houses over 120,000 artifacts, including King Tutankhamun’s golden treasures, royal mummies, and countless ancient relics. <h4>🧬 National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC)</h4> This modern museum features Egypt’s full historical timeline and the impressive Royal Mummies Hall—a must-see for history lovers. <h4>🕌 Citadel of Saladin &amp; Mohamed Ali Mosque</h4> Perched above the city, the medieval Cairo Citadel offers panoramic views and insight into Islamic architecture and military history. <h4>🛍 Khan El Khalili Bazaar</h4> One of the oldest markets in the Middle East, Khan El Khalili is perfect for souvenirs, spices, jewelry, and local street food. <h4>🕌 Historic Islamic Cairo</h4> Explore narrow alleyways filled with centuries-old mosques, madrasas, and caravanserais.
