π§ When Did Cairo Become A City
Cairo, the sprawling heart of Egypt, emerged as a city in the 10th century when the Fatimids, a dynasty of Ismaili Shia Muslims, established it as their capital in 969 AD. This vibrant metropolis, known as Al-QΔhirah or βthe Victorious,β rose from the sands of history, its skyline now punctuated by the majestic minarets of ancient mosques and the looming silhouette of the Pyramids of Giza just beyond its reach. As you wander through the bustling streets, the air is perfumed with the rich aromas of spices and street foodβthink warm falafel and sweet kunafaβwhile the lively calls of street vendors blend with the melodic prayers of the muezzins echoing from above. The Nile, that ancient lifeblood, curves through the city, offering stunning views as the sunset casts a golden glow over its tranquil waters. Visitors are enveloped in a tapestry of sound and color, where the past whispers through the crumbling facades of the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, and the present pulses with an energy that is uniquely Cairo, a city forever woven into the fabric of time.
