Cairo, Arabic Al-Qāhirah (“The Victorious”), city, capital of Egypt, and one of the largest cities in Africa. Cairo has stood for more than 1,000 years on the same site on the banks of the Nile, primarily on the eastern shore, some 500 miles (800 km) downstream from the Aswān High Dam. Located in the northeast of the country as you can see in Cairo map, Cairo is the gateway to the Nile delta, where the lower Nile separates into the Rosetta and Damietta branches.

Metropolitan Cairo is made up of the Cairo muḥāfazah (governorate), as well as other districts, some of which belong to neighbouring governorates such as Al-Jīzah and Qalūbiyyah. Area governorate, 83 square miles (214 square km). Population (2006) governorate, 7,786,640; (2005 est.) urban agglomeration, 11,128,000 as its mentioned in Cairo map. Transportation in Cairo comprises an extensive road network, rail system, subway system, and maritime services. Road transport is facilitated by personal vehicles, taxi cabs, privately owned public buses, and Cairo microbuses. Cairo, specifically Ramses Square, is the centre of almost the entire Egyptian transportation network.

The Cairo Geniza is an accumulation of almost 200,000 Jewish manuscripts that were found in the genizah of the Ben Ezra synagogue (built 882) of Fostat, Egypt (now Old Cairo), the Basatin cemetery east of Old Cairo, and a number of old documents that were bought in Cairo in the later 19th century.

The central business district, referred to as the Wasṭ al-Balad (“city centre,” or downtown), is flanked by these older quarters. The Wasṭ al-Balad includes the older Al-Azbakiyyah district, Garden City, and, more recently, Jazīrah, the island offshore as you can see in Cairo downtown map. The major thoroughfare connecting the city along its north-south axis is the Kūrnīsh al-Nīl (the Corniche), a highway paralleling the Nile River, built in the 1950s. Along the Corniche lie the Television Building, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a number of hotels; in addition, the Egyptian Museum is nearby. One of the most renowned downtown buildings, on the 29th of Hoda Shaarawy Street, is the cafe Riche, opened in 1908, the venue witnessed many historically significant events over the last century, it is said to be where the King Farouk saw his second wife , Nariman Sadek , where the perpetrator of the 1919 failed assassination attempt on prime minister Youssef Wahba Pacha lay in wait for his target, and where the basement, several members of the resistance during the 1919 revolution met to organize their activities and print their flyers.

Jazīrah, across the Nile from the Corniche as its shown in Cairo downtown map, is the site of the Cairo Tower, public gardens, a racetrack, two major sporting clubs, several major hotels, and some of the city most valuable real estate. Between the imposing Nile riverfront and the ancient inland quarters is a transitional working-class zone, chiefly developed in the 19th century; the National Library, the Museum of Islamic Art, and the presidential palace and archives later came to populate this region. It is also a two-minute drive from The Egyptian Museum and Tahrir Square; a 10-minute drive from Khan El-Khalili, Cairo oldest bazaar market; and a 15-minute drive from Islamic and Coptic Cairo.

Downtown Cairo is a bit (and by a bit we mean a lot) chaotic, so we recommend it for those who are adventurous and looking for a real slice of Cairo life. Shop after shop after shop line the old streets of Downtown, and at night sidewalk shisha cafes dominate the landscape alongside the bright fluorescent lights of the countless window displays. It is crowded and not always the best walking location for solo female travelers, but has a quirky charm. Most of Cairo notable hostels are in Downtown. It is also the closest neighborhood to the Cairo Museum, Khan el Khalili and Islamic and Coptic Cairo as its mentioned in Cairo downtown map.
