About	It is the presence of innumerable Mosques in Cairo that has earned Cairo the name ‘city of 1000 minarets’. Egypt itself is the hub of the Muslims and there are innumerable mosques most of which are concentrated in the capital city, Cairo. The mosques are religious sites indeed and the beautiful and intricate carvings and engravings make the mosques artistic epitomes. The most striking architectural feature of the Mosques in Cairo is the presence of Minarets. (http://travel.mapsofworld.com/egypt/mosques-in-cairo/index.html)
