Cairo, Egypt
Cairo, known in Arabic as Al-Qāhirah ("The Victorious"), is the capital of Egypt and one of Africa's largest cities. It has existed for over 1,000 years along the Nile's eastern shore, about 500 miles downstream from the Aswan High Dam. Located in northeastern Egypt, Cairo serves as the gateway to the Nile delta, where the river splits into the Rosetta and Damietta branches.
The city showcases a blend of ancient and modern, with the Pyramids of Giza to the southwest and an obelisk marking the site of Heliopolis in the northeast. Modern high-rises overlook the Nile, while the city boasts over 400 historic monuments from Roman, Arab, and Ottoman eras, including mosques and mausoleums, amid bustling bazaars and contemporary amenities.
Cairo’s landscape contrasts lush, irrigated areas along the river with the brown and ochre tones of older districts near the Eastern Desert and Muqaṭṭam Hills.
In December, the average temperature is 18°C to 24°C (64°F to 75°F)
