Cairo (Arabic: القاهرة) is the capital of Egypt and the largest city in the Middle-East and second-largest in Africa after Lagos. Its metropolitan area is the 15th largest in the world. Located near the Nile Delta, it was founded in 969 CE. Nicknamed the city of a thousand minarets for its preponderance of Islamic architecture, Cairo has long been a center of the region's political and cultural life. Cairo was founded by Jawhar al-Siqilli The Sicilian, of the Fatimid dynasty, in the 10th century CE, but the land composing the present-day city was the site of national capitals whose remnants remain visible in parts of Old Cairo. Cairo is also associated with Ancient Egypt as it is close to the ancient cities of Memphis, Giza and Fustat which are near the Great Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza.

10 Days in Egypt 2017
Nick and I went to Egypt a few weeks ago and here's a compilation of videos from our trip. The idea is to mainly show the diversity of the Egyptian landscape; Not so much focus on the major spots --you have to see those for yourself and my amateur video skills will never do those justice! :)
Hope you enjoy it. Let us know if you'll be interested in going (we'd love to share some tips!)
***Music: Tigris from iMovieSoundEffects, Lean On by DJ Snake & Major Lazer, Lovers on the Sun by Sam Sun -- ALL of which are obviously not mine :)

A glimpse on magical time in Cairo
Places to see in ( Cairo - Egypt )
On the Nile river, Cairo is famous for its own history, preserved in the fabulous medieval Islamic city and Coptic sites in Old Cairo. The Egyptian Museum in the centre of town is a must see, with its countless Acient Egyptian artefacts, as is shopping at the Khan al-Khalili bazaar. No trip to Cairo would be complete, for example, without a visit to the Giza Pyramids, and to the nearby Saqqara Pyramid Complex, where visitors will see Egypt's first step pyramid built by the architect Imhotep for the third dynasty Pharaoh, Djoser.
Cairo is the capital of Egypt. The city's metropolitan area is one of the largest in Africa, the largest in the Middle East, and the 15th-largest in the world, and is associated with ancient Egypt, as the famous Giza pyramid complex and the ancient city of Memphis are located in its geographical area. Located near the Nile Delta, modern Cairo was founded in 969 CE by the Fatimid dynasty, but the land composing the present-day city was the site of ancient national capitals whose remnants remain visible in parts of Old Cairo.
Cairo has the oldest and largest film and music industries in the Arab world, as well as the world's second-oldest institution of higher learning, Al-Azhar University. Many international media, businesses, and organizations have regional headquarters in the city; the Arab League has had its headquarters in Cairo for most of its existence.
Though firmly attached to the past, Cairo is also home to a vibrant modern society. The Midan Tahrir area situated in downtown Cairo area, built in the 19th century under the rule of Khedive Ismail, has strived to be a Paris on the Nile. There also are a number of more modern suburbs including Ma'adi and Heliopolis, while Zamalek is a quiet area on Gezira Island, with upmarket shopping. Cairo is best in the fall or spring, when the weather isn't so hot. A felucca ride on the Nile is a good way to escape from the busy city, as is a visit to Al-Azhar Park.
Cairo has an extensive road network, rail system, subway system and maritime services. Road transport is facilitated by personal vehicles, taxi cabs, privately owned public buses and Cairo microbuses. Cairo, specifically Ramses Square, is the centre of almost the entire Egyptian transportation network. The subway system, officially called Metro, is a fast and efficient way of getting around Cairo. Metro network covers Helwan and other suburbs. It can get very crowded during rush hour. Two train cars (the fourth and fifth ones) are reserved for women only, although women may ride in any car they want. Trams in Greater Cairo and Cairo trolleybus are former modes of transportation but were closed. An extensive road network connects Cairo with other Egyptian cities and villages. There is a new Ring Road that surrounds the outskirts of the city, with exits that reach outer Cairo districts.

Egypt Vlog - #5 - Zabbaleen or Garbage City and Coptic Monastery in Cairo
ENG SUBS AVAILABLE!
.
Visiting Zabbaleen or Garbage City located in Cairo in Mansheya Nasir (Mokattam) area. Then visited coptic monastery of Saint Samaan the Tanner located nearby.
.
The word “Zabbaleen” is an Egyptian Arabic word which means “garbage collectors”. The Zabbaleen are Cairo’s informal garbage collectors since approximately the 1940’s. They are spread around seven different settlements in Cairo and number between 50,000 to 70,000 with the largest settlement at the Mokattam Mountain near Manshayet Naser where the population is approximately 30,000. The Zabbaleen used to use donkey pulled carts but now use trucks to transport the garbage that they collect from Cairo to their homes in Mokattam. There they sort the garbage, and then sell it to a middleman or create new products from their recycled garbage. This is a hardworking community and self-sustaining people offering informal and yet organized service throughout the city. Garbage is an asset to them as they sort through the 15,000 tonnes of garbage produced daily by the 20 million residents of the city, by hand. They start in the morning, at around 3 a.m. when they leave the Garbage City and make their way to the households and offices that they have been serving for generations. The Zabbaleen recycle up to 80 percent of the waste that they collect, soliciting the help of goats and pigs to consume much of the organic waste. When the Egyptian government tried hiring foreign contracts, the recycling rate fell to a mere 20 to 25 percent of the collected waste. The Zabbaleen have recently been recognized by the government as an integral part of Egyptian society.

Enjoy!
