Egypt is a very central country so all the services and important issues are centralized in Cairo, and hence, anyone who wants to have a real career or acquire more knowledge or have a better standard of living has to go to Cairo Egypt has a population of 80,000,000. Cairo has 20,000,000 i.e. 25%! The area of Cairo is less than 1% of Egypt! so 25% of the country is living over less than 1%!! Mohaly.blogspot.com

This is actually not true. Nearly 58% of the Egyptian population is rural, so the majority of Egyptians do not live in Cairo. Cairo, however, is the largest city with just under 25% of the Egyptian population. It is so large because it is the capital and a major tourist attraction. Therefore they need more people to work, and live in Cairo.
