Cairo University, Giza

Cairo University is an institute of higher education located in Giza, Egypt. The university was founded on December 21, 1908, as the result of an effort to establish a national center for educational thought. Several constituent colleges preceded the establishment of the university including the College of Engineering in 1816, which was shut down by Muhammad Said Pasha in 1854. Cairo University was founded as a European-inspired civil university, in contrast to the religious university of al-Azhar, and became the prime indigenous model for other state universities in the region. Cairo University includes a School of Law and a School of Medicine. The Medical School, also known as Kasr Alaini , was one of the first medical schools in Africa and the Middle East. Its first building was donated by Alaini Pasha. Since then it has undergone extensive expansion. According to the 2008 Webometrics World Universities rankings, Cairo University is ranked 2nd in Egypt and 10th in Africa.
