Cairo is the largest city in Africa and the Arab world. Located at the southern tip of the Nile Delta in the northeast of Egypt, the city straddles the Nile, with magnificent spirit and spectacular scenery. It is the political, economic, cultural, commercial and transportation center of the whole Middle East. Cairo consists of three provinces: Cairo, Giza and Qaljub, commonly known as Grand Cairo.
Cairo is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is also the ancient city with the least war damage in the world today. Moreover, through the continuous construction and expansion of dynasties and governments, this big city has been formed, which coexists in ancient and modern times and reflects each other.
Mosques and minarets can be seen everywhere in Cairo. In Arabic, the minaret is called "minaret", which refers to the place where the minaret stands and summons people to pray. Since the 7th century, with the widespread spread of Islam in West Asia and North Africa, the art of mosque architecture has been continuously developed, and minarets have also evolved into various styles, becoming an indispensable part of mosque architecture and a highlight of Cairo City.
