Cairo was built by the Fatemid leader Gawhar El Seqelli in A.D. 969., i.e. 1,030 years ago. Today, with a population of about 16 million (a number that decreases to about 12 million at night when day laborers return to their homes in areas outside the city), Cairo is the greatest metropolis in Africa . Established quarters, such as the traditional Islamic city, maintain their identity within the European-style metropolis. The city contains many cultures: Pharaonic, Ptolomic, Coptic, Muslim and modern. Copts constitute about 8 percent of the population. Al Azhar University, which was devoted to the Shiíite branch of Islam, is considered the oldest university in the world. And the city boasts 2,782 mosques and 183 churches. Cairenes are religious, monotheistic, good-natured, adaptable and hospitable.
