Description

Cairo is the largest city in Africa. The estimated population is around 14,000,000. It is said to contain more people per square kilometer than anywhere else in the world, although a transient population makes official figures difficult to obtain. To the visitor however, the first impression makes the statement seem very real. There are people everywhere and traffic at a standstill with pedestrians strolling between lines of motorists. The result of this popularity is a microcosm of humankind with life's rich tapestry on constant display.

Pavement traders, wide roads, smoky tea houses, terrace cafes, colorful bazaars, flashing billboards, sky scrapers, flower sellers, new bridges, old museums, galleries, gardens, fruit barrows, and crowds of elderly men playing dominoes are all within a stone's throw of each other. The Khan Khalili marketplace and the pyramids at Giza are must see attractions. It is interesting to note that although most of Cairo is Islamic, the oldest Coptic Catholic Churches are located here and the religion is still practiced.
