The Capital of Egypt & Paris of the Middle East

“City Victorious”


Cairo, Egypt is a great city for its lifestyle full of life and movement almost 24 hours every day, if you want to live in Cairo, the only way to do it is by loving it. The fascinations of this city are many it was built originally on the faith of Islam, but it grew into so much more, it's a city that mixes the many cultures of the world with ancient traditions and modern architecture, so you can liken it to an open museum of the different historical periods "it was unlike anywhere else".

Cairo include beautiful old mosques, and fortresses such as the Citadel, ancient gates and there are a number of museums with some relationship to Egypt's archaic Islamic heritage as Islamic Museum and that its university, Al-Azhar is the oldest in the world. One of the best views of Cairo is from the Cairo Tower.
Cairo comes alive at night, which is the best time to shop, eat in a floating restaurant on the Nile, or simply watch the people movement from a cafe, Also you can go shopping from the famous Khan El-Khalili that unchanged from 10th centuries ago. If you plan to visit this unique city or just interest in the history of Cairo I recommend Paris Along the Nile to read.

Really I am very proud to be Egyptian and truly love Cairo because this is were I was born and set eyes upon her, were I was raised, were I have friends, were I can never feel lost, Cairo is part of me.. that is long age. Finally I wish to make a difference in my country one day :)
