About CAIRO

Cairo is a clock tower of history. The largest city in Africa, it is an overflowing metropolis of accumulated history and population. A layer by layer deposit of cultures, each of which has left its imperial signature behind. Collectively they make a city whose scale, spread and contents take your breath away. More than half a dozen cities combined over many centuries to make up today's Cairo, which itself trails back to the times of ancient Memphis, the capital the first Pharaohs founded to rule Egypt in 3000 BC. From there, it moved and consolidated over the ages, with each imperium adding its own stamp and structure, culminating in the fascinating Cairo we know today.
