Cairo

Capitol of Egypt, Cairo, is a city of almost 25 million people comparable to Australia’s 27 million for our whole country. This is a country 75% Muslim and 25% Coptic Christian living in peaceful coexistence.

The city is a chaotic, dusty ramshackle place. The traffic is dodgem car stuff and crossing the road is an exercise in self preservation.
