Cairo is the capital of a thousand faces. The capital of the ancient Egyptian gods. This is a city in which mummies are kept and the traditions of their worship are preserved, and this is despite the fact that nowadays in Egypt, all the polls are Muslims. The city where the world civilization began. A city where curses and wishes of good act with equal force.
Cairo is an oriental tale, where the city, as it should be, is divided into two or even three parts. In the first part of the live those whom we have the right to call the rich. The second part includes the middle class, already less rich, but with great dignity looking at life. Still others are Eastern beggars, about whom few will say that they are poor.
Naturally, all three parts of the city look completely different. The area where everyone is rich is skyscrapers, multi-storey villas, wide streets with boulevards.
Where the middle class is, the streets are already a bit narrower, the houses are two-storied, but not too fancy. Still others – narrow streets, a mass of garbage, half-dead houses.
Cairo is different. Cairo is diverse. The city has the largest airport on the African continent. And most importantly, very close is what people are traveling from all directions – the Pyramids of the Pharaohs.
And how can you not remember Neal! The great river, which in its history has changed its course many times, but at the same time has never really disturbed the rhythm of life of the Egyptians. On the contrary, it betrayed her meaning. Until now, many are convinced that the Nile is a river of gods. And by the way, the largest river in the world, after it only the Volga. I am sure that Neil has not yet revealed all his secrets to us. Changes the course – there will be new secrets.
Egypt stands just between east and west. Such is the city. He and the western – boutiques, banks, English-speaking Egyptians and eastern – markets with an incredible amount of eastern exotic, instead of cars, bicycles. This is the beauty of Egypt – in its absolute unpredictability. But the locals here are peace-loving and respectable Muslims, which is of considerable importance given the current fragile peace between countries and religions.
Many travelers do not always pay due attention to the capital of Egypt, more and more admire the Valley of the Kings in Giza – this is where the Pyramids. But the city itself is amazingly interesting because of its unique color and diversity of spheres of human life. So Cairo will fit perfectly for the beginning of the Eastern tale in your life.
So you need to travel in this country, you need to watch and breathe in what is called history. But not a simple story, but the history of the world!
