Cairo is a cultural melting pot and with a population of 16 million, it is the largest metropolis on the African continent. The Egyptian people refer to their capital city as Um Al Dunya, 'Mother of the World'. The history of the Sankt Sergius Church dates back to Abu Serga in the 5th century A.D. Legend has it that, it was built on the site where the Holy Family once sought refuge. Thus, the richly decorated church is a popular Christian place of pilgrimage and is situated in Fustat, in the middle of Coptic, the oldest district in Cairo. The spacious Mamelucks Necropolis is unique within the Islamic world. Here, instead of conventional graves, entire houses were built for the dead. Within the necropolis, the mosques and mausoleums of the Mameluck sovereigns are particularly interesting. Built in 1900, each day the Egypt Museum attracts thousands of visitors who come to experience for themselves the legendary treasures of ancient history that comprise more than 120,000 different objects from 4,500 years of Egyptian history, including the unique Tut-Ench-Amun exhibition. Cairo really does strive to do justice to its name, Mother of the World. After all, it was this city that united the glory of the Pharaos with the Early Christian and Islamic worlds.

Cairo, nem sei o que dizer, é uma cidade que nos tira a respiração, é um caos para nós europeus, o seu transito caótico, é o que mais surpreende, acidentes não assisti a nenhum.
Os seus suks, surpreendentes, muito genuínos.
Os mais originais de todos os países árabes a que fui, para além das suas maravilhas arqueológicas.
