Overview

Unveiling the Secrets of Hurghada's & Cairo's Imperial Capitals

Cairo has been the capital of Egypt for over a thousand years, founded in 969 CE. It has served as the seat of various dynasties, including the Fatimids, Ayyubids, Mamluks, and the Ottoman Empire's governors, and is the modern capital of Egypt. It has a rich and well-documented history as a center of power.

Hurghada, on the other hand, is a modern city and a major tourist destination on the Red Sea coast. It was founded in the early 20th century, and its history is primarily tied to fishing and the development of tourism. It has never been an imperial capital.
