A bit of history

Cairo has been a center of civilization for over a thousand years, with roots in the ancient city of Memphis and the Islamic capital of Fustat. Modern Cairo emerged in the 10th century under the Fatimid dynasty, and its Maadi district developed in the early 20th century as a suburb for foreign residents.
