Cairo, the capital of Egypt and one of Africa’s largest cities, has always been famous for its heritage and cultural diversity. It is also one of the world’s most important political and religious centres, given its strategic location on the western bank of the Nile River. It is bounded on the north by Qalyubia city, on the east and south by the Zahir El-Sahrawi Villages, and on the west by the Nile River and Giza city.
