The capital city Cairo amazes the world
with its blend of old and new, the blend of the ancient,
medieval and modern times, of Cairo people dressed in
traditional clothes and people dressed in business costumes. The
historical buildings are hidden by the crowed areas. The
cultural shock is part of the capital city’s experience, and
that might be exhausting sometimes. But as the legend says: “If
you haven’t seen Cairo, you haven’t seen the world at all”. The
most significant part of the city is situated on the Eastern
part of the Nile. The old Cairo is situated at south of the
city’s centre and the Islamic Cairo occupies a significant part
in the Est. The capital city has grew as the population number
and as geographical area, extending its suburbs from the city
borders, especially in the Eastern desert. In the North-east
from the downtown, next to the airport are the districts of
Heliopolis, Maadi, Sheraton and Zamalk that hold a lot of city’s
wealth (including the residential palace), while the to the
West, the suburbs of middle class from Giza has extended till
the pyramids. The exotic horizon, the roads and the gracious
minarets give a magic gauze to the city`s reality. The most of
the visitors are attracted by the Giza Pyramids, the Tutankhamun
tomb`s treasures and many other wonders from the Egyptian
Museum, or to do shopping in the Cairo`s bazaars. There are also
many mosques, museums, Christians churches and windings streets
that wait to be explored. In Zamalik ward are many shops with
jewelry, antiquities, houses ornamentations and souvenirs. Cairo
Tower is another centre of interest that offers an amazing
panorama of the city. This capital city is really something that
you don’t want to miss! |
