Description
  • Cairo, Egypt, the largest city in Africa, has a population of 795,000. It is located at the head of the great delta of the Nile. It is the chief city of Mohammedan teaching and is the location of the Mohammedan University which was founded in the year 988. At Cairo there is a great bridge across the Nile--a modern steel structure. Automobiles, carriages, trolley cars and bicycles are in common use in Cairo today, but many of the natives still ride on camels, just as their ancestors did years ago. Observe the well-loaded carts in this picture.
