Proper nounSingular Cairo Plural - Cairo
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Cairo (Arabic: القاهرة al-Qāhira), is the capital city of Egypt, and is the largest city in Africa, and the Arab World. It is the largest metropolitan area in Egypt, and is one of the most populous in the world. Cairo has long been the center of the region's cultural and artistic life, and has the oldest and largest film and music industries in the Arab World, earning it the name of the "Hollywood of the East". While Al-Qahirah is the official name of the city in Arabic, Egyptians often refer to it simply as Misr (the Arabic name for Egypt itself). Cairo was founded by the Fatimid Caliphate, replacing Fustat as the seat of the government, and serving as the capital of Egypt ever since. Cairo has a population of about 6.75 million people, according to the 2006 population census. The number of inhabitants was about a million higher at the time of the census, but this was adjusted downwards on the 17th of April 2008 when the new government of Helwan was created from parts of the old Cairo government. Cairo's urban area has a population of about 17.0 million people. Cairo is the sixteenth most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is also the most populous metropolitan area in Africa. Cairo has a mix of historical and modern cultural sights. This includes the Pyramids, the Hanging Church, Saladin's Citadel, the Virgin Mary's Tree, the Sphinx, and Heliopolis, Al-Azhar, the Mosque of Amr ibn al-A'as, Saqqara, the Cairo Tower, and the Old City. Cairo is nicknamed "The City of A Thousand Minarets". From Wikipedia under the

Surly the Islamic world will accept the offering of Obama. The Stimulus will improve unemployment. Asked by i worship obama - Sat Jun 6 08:56:23 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. I do not agree. America has been infiltrated by Barack Hussein Obama. How is it that a Muslim is voted in as president of the United States - only eight years after the Muslims slammed two planes into the World Trade Centers? - Killing over 3500 innocent Americans. How has America sunk so deep that the people of America simply go along with everything obma suggests and does. o_O Answered by Blending In - Sat Jun 13 03:11:33 2009 What is the origin of the surname Cairo? Q. Is it Spanish? Does it have anything to do with Cairo, Egypt? Asked by Kobe - Sun May 6 14:56:18 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's not relegated to a single country, primarily because the Mediterranean was such a fluid area for so many centuries (no pun intended). Sailors and soldiers routinely landed here, landed there, settled here, resettled there, and there wasn't much to distinguish one from the other. There are several places in the Mediterranean where the name Cairo belongs to a town or a village. There's just as many incidents of a man from Cairo resettling in another country and being referred to as "de Cairo" or "di Cairo", but it just evolved into a surname. Is there a single source for the surname? No, it's found in too many disparate countries for that to be true, regardless of what the "look what we can sell you about your surname" sites would… [cont.] Answered by GenevievesMom - Sun May 6 22:42:43 2007 is it possible for me to find work in france after i graduate from the french universaty in cairo ?

I think you are more likely to find work in the United States than in France because unemployment in France is at 9.4% which is twice what it is in the USA. Its also my understanding that foreign degrees are given more respect in the USA than in France. Of course, in either country, the work you will be able to find will depend on what subjects you have studied at University.
