Cairo ("el Qaheera" in Arabic) is not just the capital city of Egypt, it's also the industrial and commercial heart of this gateway country which lies at the junction of Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Though by western standards Egypt and Cairo might seem alien, the country as a whole and Cairo in particular is cosmopolitan by the standards of its eastern, western and southern neighbors. Women walk the streets without veils if they choose, despite its predominantly Muslim population, own cars and have jobs.
Coptic (eastern orthodox Christian) churches mingle with Arabic neighborhoods, nestling up against coffee shops, between mosques, and overlooking parks, highways and - to the north of the city - agricultural areas fertilized since time immemorial by the fertile waters of the Nile. You could stay at a beautiful Eco-village beach side resort from where you can take day trips out to the Marine Park Reserve, a local off-shore reef where you can go swimming with dolphins.
