History of Cairo
You'll appreciate Cairo so much more if you delve into the history of this great city. The City was settled as far back as the Paleolithic times but you may be more familiar with it when it was known as Memphis or Babylon. The Persians, British and French also had their hands in making modern Cairo what it is today.
