iss074e0043738 (Jan. 3, 2026) --- Egypt's Greater Cairo area, with a population of over 22 million and comprised of over a dozen cities, is split by the Nile River at the base of Nile Delta. In an unusual lighting pattern, the older districts of Cairo and Giza shine brightly with modern white lights, while the newer developments of New Cairo City on the left and El Sheikh Zayed City on the right appear in amber tones.
