Egypt enjoys a deep-rooted civilization which began when the ancient
Egyptians established on the bank of the River Nile the first
central state. Throughout centuries, the Egyptians interacted with other civilizations and peoples.
Yet, Egypt kept its cultural peculiarity
which historians divide into Pharaonic Era which lasted for 3000
years, Greek Era which also lasted for 3000 years, Roman Era which
interacted with Coptic Era after Christianity entered Egypt, and
finally the Islamic Conquest of Egypt and the Ottoman Rule till the
Modern Era launched by Mohamed Ali Pasha, the founder of modern
Egypt.
Stretching along the banks of the River
Nile, Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is a vast city where ancient
traditions still hold up against the onslaught of modern life. A
city of numerous districts, Cairo is a unique mix of medieval
buildings and skyscrapers, bazaars and modern shopping malls,
museums packed with ancient relics and stunning new bridges.
Cairo's
main square is Midan Tahrir, at the centre of Cairo and home to the
Egyptian Museum, with downtown Cairo, the busy commercial district,
to the north-east bordered by the River Nile. Gezirah Island,
connected to downtown by three bridges, houses the Cairo Tower and
the Cairo Opera House. East of downtown is Islamic Cairo, the
medieval heart of the city. Coptic Cairo, the seat of the Christian
Coptic community, lies at the heart of Old Cairo, which is also home
to Cairo's Jewish community. West of the Nile is Giza, about 18
kilometers south-west of the centre of Cairo, with the magnificent
Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.
