Cairo is the capital city of Egypt and it is more than 1000 years old, but compared with Egypt's history this is concidered a young city. Around 12.000.000 people lives here in Cairo and this is the largest city in Africa. The river Nile is crossing the city and on both sides you can find skyscrapers. The streets are filled with cars and the traffic is chaotoic. A car is concidered bad if the horn doesn't work, and you will understand why if travelling here...

Last visit to Cairo: Jul 1996
