Cairo is the capital and largest city of Egypt, located at the tip of the Nile Delta, and is a major cultural, political and economic center in Africa and the Arab world. As a metropolis of over 20 million people, Cairo is known for its rich historical sites, such as the Giza Pyramid Complex, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum, which showcase the splendor of ancient Egyptian civilization.
The city blends traditional and modern elements, with busy bazaars (such as the Khan al-Khalili Market), Islamic architecture (such as the Muhammad Ali Mosque) and recreational areas along the Nile. Cairo's people live a life centered on hospitality and family, with street food and tea culture as daily features.
As Egypt's economic hub, Cairo dominates finance, tourism and manufacturing. The transportation system includes a subway, buses and cabs, but congestion is common. The city is pushing for modernization through projects such as the new administrative capital.
