Cairo

Capital of Egypt and one of the most important centres of religious, cultural and political life in the Muslim world, on both banks of the Nile south of the delta. The Fatimids founded al-Qahira in 969 CE beside Fustat, and it became home to al-Azhar. The city grew northward under the Ayyubids, Mamluks and Ottomans, and modern Cairo took shape from the reign of Muhammad Ali.
