 Cairo
Stretching along the banks of the River Nile, Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is a vast city where ancient traditions still hold up against the onslaught of modern life. A city of numerous districts, Cairo is a unique mix of medieval buildings and skyscrapers, bazaars and modern shopping malls, museums packed with ancient relics and stunning new bridges.
Cairo's main square is Midan Tahrir, at the centre of Cairo and home to the Egyptian Museum, with downtown Cairo, the busy commercial district, to the north-east bordered by the River Nile. Gezira Island, connected to downtown by three bridges, houses the Cairo Tower and the Cairo Opera House. East of downtown is Islamic Cairo, the medieval heart of the city. Coptic Cairo, the seat of the Christian Coptic community, lies at the heart of Old Cairo, which is also home to Cairo's Jewish community. West of the Nile is Giza, about 18 kilometres south-west of the centre of Cairo, with the magnificent Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.
