The capital of Egypt — Cairo — is the largest city on the entire continent. He seems to live his own life, according to his own laws and rules.
Like any capital city, Cairo is supposed to be a bustling city, with many people hurrying somewhere past tall modern buildings interspersed with beautiful mosques.
This is what he is, Cairo, divided in half by the mighty Nile. The city is getting closer and closer to the Pyramids, and snatches of conversations from noisy and bright oriental bazaars are already flying here.

Kiair is officially believed to have been founded in 969. However, as evidenced by archaeological facts, people lived in this area long before that.
It is known from history that the city called Babylon was once very important and strategically important — it was the main port of the country.
After Egypt was conquered by the Arabs, a military camp arose near Babylon, which later turned into the first Islamic capital. In 969 the city of Cairo was founded.
