"Nearly half of all Egyptians live in cities. Cairo, the nation's capital and largest city, is also the largest city in Africa. Cairo is very crowded because many people move to the cities from rural areas. They hope to find a better education and jobs. As a result, there are traffic jams and housing shortages. Some people live in tents that they have set up on boats on the Nile River." (Prentice Hall World Studies 461)
