History
Cairo grew up around the Nile and is layered with eras: pharaonic flanking at Giza, early Christian communities in Coptic Cairo and Islamic dynasties centered around the medieval citadel.
Conservation
Historic sites are sensitive to foot traffic and humidity; respect rope boundaries, avoid touching artifacts, use refillable bottles and support licensed guides and local small businesses to keep tourism sustainable.
