Pan-Arabism: Cairo
Cairo (القاهرة) is the capital of Egypt, an ancient city, full of history. It was also the central of Pan-Arabism in its golden age, which was during the regime of Nasser, who was president from 1954 to 1970. “President Nasser… wanted a Pan-Arabic unity centered around Egypt” (Fallatah 63). While Pan-Arabism as a whole did not thrive beyond Nasser, Egypt was greatly shaped by Nasser’s implementation of Pan-Arabism, and became its own pocket of Arabism— Egyptian Arabism.
