Cairo
Cairo, the sprawling capital of Egypt on the Nile River, is a vibrant metropolis of over 20 million people known as "the city of a thousand minarets" and the gateway to the Giza Pyramids.
Founded in 969 AD, it blends 7,000 years of history—pharaonic, Coptic, and Islamic—with modern, chaotic city life. Key attractions include the Great Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, and Khan el-Khalili bazaar.
