Cairo is the pumping heart of Egypt with over 20 million residents. It is the largest city in Egypt and also in all of Africa. The location of the city and the large coastal area means it is the perfect spot for connecting to Europe and Asia by water, land or air. When you arrive in Cairo, the city can be a little overwhelming; it’s super busy! But once you get used to the constant rumble of cars, being approached by rambling sellers and the thick air, Cairo is comes alive before your eyes. Walking through the city you can see the mix with modern and ancient influences, and see some of the famous sights like Tahrir Square, Al-Azhar Mosque and the Old Cairo region.
