Visiting AUC and Cairo
Egypt's geo-political location and role in the region makes it a gateway to understanding the Middle East and Islam. As um el dunyah, or the cradle of civilization, it provides the added advantage of a sneak peek into one of the oldest civilizations known to man. And while Egypt is famous for its past, it’s modern adaptation is just as mesmerizing. Packed with art galleries, music halls, an opera house, shopping and dining, its capital, Cairo, is a major cultural and political center. One of the world's largest cities with a population of over 18 million, Cairo is a lively city -- the epitome of the ‘city that never sleeps.’
