Cairo is the capital of Egypt and the
largest city in Africa. A cosmopolitan city that blends charm of the
east with a mediterranean flavour which accomodates 26% of the Egyptian
population. It is a melting pot where antiquities of pharaonic
dynasties, Graeco- Roman civilization, Christian and Islamic landmarks
co-exist. A dynamic city proud of its warm and friendly people known for
their traditional hospitality. On the Moqattam hills extending on the
east bank of the Nile rises Salah al-Din Citadel towering and awe
inspiring. At its base extend hundreds of splendid mosques and Islamic
monuments.
