Finding your way about Cairo's vast sprawl is not as difficult as it may seem. Midan Tahrir is at the center. Northeast of Tahrir and centered on Sharia Talaat Harb is Downtown, a bustling commercial district. The city's main train station at Midan Ramses marks Downtown's northernmost extent. Heading east, Downtown ends at Midan Ataba and the old medieval heart of the city known as Islamic Cairo takes over.

尋找你對開羅的巨大張力的方式是并是像看起來那么困難。塔利爾是在中心。東北塔利爾和伊斯蘭教Talaat哈布為中心城區，是一個繁華的商業區。全市在Midan拉姆西斯火車站標志著市區最北端的程度。向東，市區結束于Midan Ataba，這里是中世界的中心，之后被伊斯蘭開羅接管。
