Cairo

Cairo (Arabic: القاهرة al-qāhirah; lit. "the conqueror") is the capital and largest city of the Arab Union, and also serves as the capital and economic centre of the Egyptian Arab Republic, the union's most populous and economically dominant member republic.

Cairo proper (the district–municipality) is the northernmost of the three districts which make up Cairo Governorate. All three districts and therefore the governorate as a whole form the central bulk of the Cairo Metropolitan Area, which also includes multiple districts and municipalities within surrounding governorates.
