Throughout thousands of years, Egypt has been considered home to civilisation. This attribute comes predominantly from the Pharaohs who were the founders of the very first state in the world. Egypt is home to the longest river in the world, the Nile, giving it life from the north all the way to the south. The cultural heritage of Egypt does not just end with the Pharaohs, numerous civilisations have lived in Egypt such as the Greeks, the Romans, the Fatimids, the Mamluks and the Ottomans. The capital of the Arab Republic of Egypt is the city of Cairo. It is known for its antiquities and everlasting history and was given the most beautiful city award in 1940. Cairo is nicknamed as “ the Paris of the Nile” for its unique French styled architecture of downtown Cairo. Not only would you spot ancient Egyptian architecture in Cairo, you can see Italian, Islamic, Coptic and Greek architecture all over the City.
