The biggest city in Africa

Cairo - Egypt’s capital city, located on the banks of the Nile. It occupies the 13th largest population in the world. The population is in 2018 - 9,293,612 people. Cairo is a very colorful and diverse city. It is noisy and crowded, but only here you can understand what is the Arabic flavor.

Today, it is a spiritual and cultural center of Egypt, which concentrates hundreds of ancient mosques, magnificent palaces and monuments. The western part consists of numerous boulevards, parks, office and government buildings. Ismail Pasha, under whose leadership new districts of Cairo flourished, took as a basis the planning of the 19th century Paris.

Old Cairo bright and varied. From the time of the pharaohs to this day, wealth and poverty live in Cairo together. The abundance and originality of the goods enthralls the Europeans who get to the eastern market. I bought colorful souvenirs, will treat myself to freshly squeezed juice from the cane. This is delicious. In Cairo, where to this day, there is a dry law, two popular drinks - green cane juice and red tea from Sudanese rose.

Despite the difficult life in the Muslim world, their hearts are not evil, they are full of love.

Interesting post @IgorVats but I think your population statistic for Cairo is very wrong!!! Anyway, not only is it crowded but believe me Cairo can be a very, very hot and humid place.
