CAIRO (AL – QAHIRAH)
Cairo (Al-Qahirah) is the capital and largest city of Egypt (214 km, population 23 million permanent residents.) There is no accurate data on the population of Cairo.
The reason for this are e.g. constant migration of residents. It is estimated that a thousand new residents come here every day. Over 2 million people live in the so-called "The City of the Dead."
The towering minarets dominate the entire city, and the oldest and most beautiful are in the heart of Islamic Cairo. Mosques are built close to each other so that every Muslim is always within the reach of prayers from the minarets. This is the largest center of the Islamic world.
The oldest part is Old Cairo - full of Roman and early Christian monuments. The most wonderful is the Muslim Cairo with numerous mosques, minarets and ancient buildings, pyramids and the Sphinx.
