Al Qahirah (also Cairo), the Capital of the Alif Laam Miim Emirate.
As functioning capital of the Emirate of Alif Laam Miim, Al Qahirah has served as a center of learning, culture, language, and Islam for many centuries before the Emirate. Today, it continues its historic roles, with the expansion off global markets and diplomacy. Al Qahirah also hosts many sports complexes for a variety of physical activities, primarily football and cricket. As among the largest cities in the world, Al Qahirah has blossomed into a city of prosperity, although some poverty still remains in the ghettos on the west wank of the Nile.
