Greater Cairo
extends on the banks
of the River Nile to
the south of its delta.
Here the Nile divides
into its two distributaries:
Rosetta and Damietta.
It is the city where
past and present meet.
On its east side stands
the evidence of 2000
years of Islamic, Christian
Coptic, and Jewish culture
still flourishing to
this day. On its west
side lies the Ancient
Egyptian city of Memphis
(Giza), the renowned
capital of the Old Kingdom
and the site of the
Pyramids, the only wonder
surviving of the Seven
Wonders of the World.
Indeed, a journey through
Cairo is a journey through
time... A journey through
the history of an immortal
civilization.
