Twinned with Cairo
26 of 31 in this atlas
Cairo's twinning links, as recorded in this atlas, span Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, from Algiers and Lagos to Beijing, Xi'an, Paris, Barcelona, Moscow, Mexico City, and New York City. Nearly all pairings are mutual, with Casablanca and Moscow standing out as one-sided, naming Cairo without reciprocal listing from Cairo's side in this dataset.
