Cairo was founded in 969 AD by the Fatimid dynasty, specifically by the general Jawhar al-Siqilli. He established the city as the capital of the Fatimid Caliphate and named it "Al-Qahirah," meaning "The Victorious." The city's location was strategically chosen near the existing settlement of Fustat, which had been established earlier. Over the centuries, Cairo grew into a major cultural and political center in the Islamic world.
