The downtown area is home to stores that offer clothing, leather bags, and shoes, as well as Midan El-Tahrir, Sharia Qasr El-nil, Sharia Talaat Harb, and Egyptian movie theatres. Cairo’s central business district and the surrounding region are also referred to as Cairo the 2nd since they were constructed after Cairo “Al-Qahira” and almost replaced it in 1869 when Khedive Ismail opened the Suez Canal.
