continuing to decline in importance,<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a

of the Roman and then the <a href="/wiki/Byzantine_Empire" title="Byzantine

settled to the north of the Babylon in an area that became known as <a
href="/wiki/Al-Fustat" class="mw-redirect" title="Al-Fustat">al-Fustat</a>.
Originally a tented camp (<i>Fustat</i> signifies "City of Tents") Fustat became a

(the city of sections, or <a href="/wiki/Cantonment"
title="Cantonment">cantonments</a>) as it was laid out like a military camp.
</p><p>A rebellion in 869 by <a href="/wiki/Ahmad_ibn_Tulun" title="Ahmad ibn

("the Quarters"), to the north of Fustat and closer to the river. Al Qatta'i was
centred around a palace and ceremonial mosque, now known as the <a

</p><p>In 905, the Abbasids re-asserted control of the country and their governor

</p><p>The historic traveller<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a
href="#cite_note-34">[33]</a></sup> Ibn Battuta travelled thousands of
miles during the course of his trek. One city he stopped in was Cairo, Egypt. One
significant note Ibn Battuta made was that Cairo was the principal district of
Egypt, meaning Cairo was Egypt's most important and most influential city (Ibn
Battuta, 2009). Ibn Battuta also acknowledges the importance of the Nile river to
all of Egypt, including Cairo, as he often travelled via boat to arrive at Cairo
and to leave to continue his journey. The Nile was not just a means for
transportation, it was the source of a plethora of other tangibles as well. The
Nile's most influential attribute was its ability to sustain rich soil for
agriculture. Part of the Agricultural Revolution thrived in Egypt, predominantly
off the back of the Nile. The Nile also served as a source of food and a pathway
for trade. Without it, the Egypt we know today wouldn't have been the same. One of
Ibn Battuta's most detailed accounts in Cairo involves a plague that was
devastating the city. Today, this plague is known as the <a
href="/wiki/Bubonic_Plague" class="mw-redirect" title="Bubonic Plague">Bubonic
Plague</a>, or the Black Death. It is believed to have arrived in Egypt in 1347,
and as Ibn Battuta recalls, the Bubonic plague was responsible for the deaths of
between 1 and 20,000 people a day in Cairo<sup id="cite_ref-35"
class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35">[34]</a></sup>(Berkeley ORIAS,
2018) (Ibn Battuta, 2009). The plague originated in Asia and spread via fleas on
rodents, such as rats (Berkeley ORIAS, 2018). The plague would end up spreading to
all of Eurasia and wiped out any civilizations that were in its path. It is
estimated that somewhere between 75 and 200 million people total died from the
plague.

</p><p>Until the mid-19th century, when the river was tamed by dams, levees, and
other controls, the Nile in the vicinity of Cairo was highly susceptible to changes
in course and surface level. Over the years, the Nile gradually shifted westward,
providing the site between the eastern edge of the river and the <a

stands. The land on which Cairo was established in 969 (present-day <a

<i>Geziret al-Fil</i> is occupied by the <a href="/wiki/Shubra"

for 11% of Egypt's population and 22% of its economy (PPP). The majority of the
nation's commerce is generated there, or passes through the city. The great
majority of <a href="/wiki/Publishing" title="Publishing">publishing houses</a> and
media outlets and nearly all <a href="/wiki/Movie_studio" class="mw-redirect"
title="Movie studio">film studios</a> are there, as are half of the nation's
hospital beds and universities. This has fuelled rapid construction in the city—one
building in five is less than 15 years old.
</p><p>This growth until recently surged well ahead of <a

Homes, roads, electricity, telephone and sewer services were all in short supply.
Analysts trying to grasp the magnitude of the change coined terms like "hyper-
urbanization".

<p>The Cairo Tower is a free-standing tower with a revolving restaurant at the top.
It provides a bird's eye view of Cairo to the restaurant patrons. It stands in the
Zamalek district on Gezira Island in the Nile River, in the city centre. At 187
metres (614 feet), it is 44 metres (144 feet) higher than the Great Pyramid of
Giza, which stands some 15 kilometres (9 miles) to the southwest.

consider that the whole governorate is urban and the whole governorate is treated

principle as the city of Cairo, being a governorate-city. Because of this, it is
difficult to divide Cairo into urban, rural, subdivisions, or to eliminate certain
parts of the metropolitan administrative territory on various theme (unofficial
