About Cairo

Cairo is the capital of Egypt and the city-state Cairo Governorate, and is the country's largest city, home to 10 million people. It is also part of the largest urban agglomeration in Africa, the Arab world and the Middle East: The Greater Cairo metropolitan area is the 12th-largest in the world by population with a population of over 22.1 million.

Cairo is associated with ancient Egypt, as the Giza pyramid complex and the ancient cities of Memphis and Heliopolis are located in its geographical area. Located near the Nile Delta, the city first developed as Fustat following the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 641 next to an existing ancient Roman fortress, Babylon. Cairo was founded by the Fatimid dynasty in 969. It later superseded Fustat as the main urban centre during the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods (12th–16th centuries). Cairo has long been a centre of the region's political and cultural life, and is titled "the city of a thousand minarets" for its preponderance of Islamic architecture. Cairo's historic center was awarded World Heritage Site status in 1979.

Local Customs and Traditions -
In Egypt, the most common greeting is As-salamu alaykum, which translates to “Peace be upon you.” The response to this greeting is Wa alaykumu s-salam, meaning “And upon you be peace. However, this greeting can be slightly formal and might not be used among close friends and family. In more informal situations, people may use ahlan (hello) or marhaba (hello/welcome). In more conservative or traditional communities, Egyptian men do not generally have physical contact (such as shaking hands or hugging) with women who are not their close relatives or wives. In less traditional communities, on the other hand, men often shake hands or, if they are close friends or relatives, hug or kiss on the cheek when they greet each other. Egyptian women also commonly greet each other with a kiss on each cheek, especially among close friends or relatives. In a professional setting or among more westernized individuals, it may be more common for men and women to shake hands, but it’s usually best to follow the woman’s lead in such situations. If in doubt, a polite verbal greeting without physical contact is always a safe choice. These norms can change depending on the social, cultural, and personal context, so they should be seen as general guidelines rather than strict rules.
