If you enjoy the video, please like, comment and subscribe, I appreciate it, thank you Hey folks, driving in Cairo is interesting to watch. It is never boring on the streets of Cairo. For more information subtitles in different languages are available. If you have suggestions or feedback just leave a comment, thank you. Welcome to a new tour within Cairo. Starting point is one of the biggest district of Cairo "el Nozha", continue to "Hadayek el Kobba" and drive through Misr and Sudan Street. At the end we will take a look of Down Town Cairo and end our trip after the Tahrir Square. I also permanently displayed the permitted maximum speed. I've heard a lot of complaints about Speeding Tickets. In this way I hope to protect you from possible Speeding tickets. In future videos I will continue this on main roads. You have to watch out for walking people, taxis, toktok's and especially for (white) microbuses. Their behavior is unpredictable and it can lead to a disaster. Otherwise is driving in Cairo, Egypt a funny and enjoyable thing. Always wear your seat belt and keep to the speed limit.

It was once one of the affluent neighborhoods and had numerous villas and extensive gardens. The “EL Kobba” and “El-Ṭahra” palaces, which are among the largest palaces in Egypt, still bear witness to its importance. El Kobba palace in the north of an extensive, 70-hectare park was built between 1867 and 1872. The palace served the Egyptian kings as a residence and the Egyptian president as a presidential palace and as accommodation for state guests. It has 400 rooms. El Tahra palace was built in the Italian style for Princess Amina in 1927 according to the plans of the Italian architect Antonio Lasciac, which is located in a large garden. Amina was the daughter of the Khedive Ismail Pasha (reigned 1863-1867). The villa was purchased in 1939 by King Farouk (reign 1936–1952). The name of the district goes back to the Mamluk Sultan el-Ashraf Qaitbay (1416-1496). 1477 he bought a plot of land away from the city of Cairo and had a dome-shaped building, el Kobba (القبة), built on it. In the 17th and 18th centuries, people settled around the dome, so that a small village was created. In the 19th century, family members from the dynasty of Mohamed Ali Pasha used to build palaces here also. Hadayek el Kobba is served by Metro Line M1. The names of the stations are called " Saray el Kobba", “Hammamat el Kobba”, “Kobri el Kobba”, “Manshiyet el Sadr” and “El-Damerdash”. Tahrir Square The Khedive (viceroy) Ismail Pasha was viceroy over the Ottoman province of Egypt from 1867 to 1879. During this time, this square was built under his leadership. Known as "Ismailia Square" until 1919, it was unofficially named "Tahrir Square" (Liberation Square) for the first time after the protest against the British occupation. Only after the military coup of July 23, 1952 and the establishment of a republic on June 18, 1953, the square was officially renamed "Tahrir Square" from 1954. The square is served by Metro Line M1 and M2. The name of the station is called "Sadat."
