Overview
Officially known as Al-Qahirah, Cairo means ‘The Triumphant’. The Capital City of Egypt, Cairo is the most populous metropolitan area and the most populous city in Africa situated on the River Nile. In Egyptian Arabic it is simply called by the name of the country i.e. Misr (Egypt). This one of the largest cities in Middle East today is the major commercial, residential, cultural and educational center of the country.

One will be left speechless to see the contrast of the city’s settings, which have vast arid desert on one side, and a busy city, which looks like a modern day oasis on the other. The city leaves travelers from all over the world marveling at its wondrous antiquities beautifully knitted with modern day amenities. Preserving fabulous medieval Islamic culture in its lap, Cairo is also a vibrant modern society at the same time.

Whether it’s dusty streets in chaotic markets, sleek skyscrapers by shiny roads or calm mosques, Cairo has everything a traveler can fantasize for. While with the legacy of Byzantium, wonder of pyramids and mystery of Nile, the city has much to live up to. Besides being a chaotic mixture of sights, sounds and smells, Cairo is also the Egyptian center for expos, trade shows and conventions.
