開羅(Cairo)是埃及首都,橫跨尼羅河,氣魄雄偉,風貌壯觀,是整個中東地區的政治、經濟和商業中心。它由開羅省、吉薩省和蓋勒尤卜省組成,通稱大開羅。大開羅是埃及和阿拉伯世界以及非洲最大的城市,也是世界上最古老的城市之一。
開羅的形成,可追溯到公元前約3000年的古王國時期,作為首都,亦有千年以上的歷史。在它的西南約30公里處,是古都孟菲斯遺址。在那開闊的平地上,一片綠蔭之中,有一所小小的院落,這是孟菲斯博物館,內有法老拉美西斯二世的巨型石像,歷史久遠。院中,有一獅身人面像,完整無缺,是人們流連忘返,攝影留念之處。
由孟菲斯遺址西行約20公里,即世界七大奇觀之一的金字塔。
Cairo (Arabic: القاهرة transliteration: Al-Qāhirah), which means "The Vanquisher" or "The Triumphant", is the capital city of Egypt. While Al-Qahirah is the official name of the city, in Egyptian Arabic it commonly shares the dialect's name for the country, transliteration: Misr. It has a metropolitan area population of about 17,285 million people.[1] Cairo is the sixteenth most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is also the most populous metropolitan area in Africa .
The city was founded in AD 969 as the royal enclosure for the Fatimid caliphs, while the actual economic and administrative capital was in nearby Fustat. After Fustat was destroyed in 1168/1169 to prevent its capture by the Crusaders, the administrative capital of Egypt moved to Cairo, where it has remained ever since.
