Cairo     

Guide: Mohammed Ghazaly

Modern Cairo is home to about 18 million people.  It's a thriving metropolis, embracing both sides of the Nile.  Rich in history and ethnic diversity, Cairo is an elegant, sophisticated city.

Fashionable neighborhoods with their upscale hotels and luxurious condominiums (some valued in excess of $ 30 million US dollars) like the banks of the Nile.

A centerpiece of Cairo's citadel, the Mohammed Ali (Blue) Mosque is a twin to the structure constructed in Istanbul. Below, a merchant prepares for his daily clientele.
