Cairo is the capital of Egypt and its largest city, and one of the largest cities in Africa and the Arab world. It was founded in 969 CE by the Fatimids near much older sites such as Memphis and the Giza pyramids.
Cairo features a unique blend of Islamic, Coptic, and Pharaonic heritage, most notably Al-Azhar and the Egyptian Museum, making it a major cultural and economic center in the region.
