Cairo is located on the banks and islands of the River Nile, in the north of Egypt. It is immediately south of where the river leaves its desert-bound valley and breaks into two branches into the low-lying Nile Delta region, and has through the millennia benefited greatly by this proximity, making it the centre of commerce in Egypt.
