Cairo

On the banks of the Nile, at the meeting point of deserts and delta, a city rose that would carry Egypt into every new age.

Pharaohs left their pyramids on its edge, caliphs crowned it with mosques and palaces, and sultans filled it with markets where the world’s riches passed hand to hand.
Here, stories have never ceased: Greek scholars debated with Arab philosophers, merchants bargained in the shadow of minarets, and the call to prayer rose above the cries of the bazaar.
