Cairo University

Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAI : Cairo University

Cairo University (formerly the Egyptian University) is an institute of higher education located in Giza, Egypt. Constituent colleges preceded the establishment of the university. For example, Mohamed Ali established the College of Engineering (Mohandes khana مهندسخانة) c. 1820, which was shut down by Mohamed Said Pasha, c. 1850. It is the result of an effort during British colonial rule to establish a national center for liberal thought. It was founded on December 21, 1908. British occupation authorities, led by Lord Cromer, opposed the school's creation, fearing it would foster dissent. Cairo University has, among others, a School of Law and a School of Medicine.

[The Medical School], also known as Alkasr Alaini, more properly, (al-Qasr al-'Ayn) - , 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 expanded tremendously.[link]
