Its ancient civilization, unique history and
culture blend harmoniously with the modern refinements of the
20th century. The very existence of the country depends on
slender ribbon of the Nile, the worlds second longest river.
On its east side the 2000 years old Christian Coptic Quarter.
On its west side the ancient Egyptian city of
Memphis (Giza), the renowned capital of the Old Kingdom and
the site of the Pyramids, the only surviving monument of the
Seven Wonders of the World. A centre of cultural, social,
intellectual, economic and political activity, Cairo also
holds a diversity of world famous hotel chains, glittering
nightclubs, casinos and discos. Cairo is a city that never
sleeps, being the cultural and commercial centre of the Arab
world and the largest in Africa and the Middle East.
