Cairo is a 1400-year-old desert oasis occupied by nearly 16 million people whose lives are shaped and coloured by its proximity to the Nile, and where the pressures of life test the inhabitants to the limit. Cairo: City of Sand reveals a peerless urban balancing act, and transmits Cairo's overriding message - the breadth of human capacity for loss, astonishment, and delight.
