Cairo by Thibault

Napoleon before the sphinx.


In which city can you find pyramids at the end of the street?
In which city can you find the desert when you leave this city?
In wich city can you find the Nil when you leave your hotel?
In Cairo, of course.
But Cairo is very cultural too. Indeed the Romans occupied this city so we find coptic churches. After the Arabs invaded Cairo and lot of mosques were built. In 1169 the famous Saladin becomes vizir. SO if you go to Cairo visit the Citadel of Saladin. But the Mamluks taked Cairo too. Then the Ottamans settled in Cairo . After there were a succession of power: the Frenches (Napoléon), the Englishes,the Ottamans, the Albanian and the Englishes. But after the Cairenes become indepedente.
So we can see that Cairo has a long history.


mamluk
Citadel of Saladin












The local langage is the egyptian but the Cairenes talk english too.
Cairo is a city apart. It is original and diverse.
In addition in Cairo there is the most famous river : the Nil.
The pyramids of Gizeh are next to Cairo and it build at the time of the parahos. The pyramids of Gizeh are the most famous pyramids because there are very impressive and the biggest.
In Cairo you can find stores of papyrus or perfume. Moreover the price are not high.
You can visit the Cairo museum with sarcophagi or you can go to the place tahrir. The place of the revolution against Mubarak.
So you can go two weeks or one month in Cairo you don't bored.
