Cairo's name has changed throughout the ages. The city as we know it today was established and called Cairo, or more specifically Al Qahira, by the Arabs. However, most Egyptians nowadays refer to it as "Masr" which is Egypt in Arabic.
This city is very multi-cultural, though not in the same way as London or Paris, where there is a high immigration rate so you have people from all over the world and various cultures living in one city. Cairo is always unique. It has some non-Egyptians living in it, mostly from Arab countries, and the occasional international students and foreign workers. However, each area in the city has its own culture. In fact there are so many different cultures with their own norms and traditions within the different areas that it boggles your mind.
Having such varied cultures makes it difficult to determine who is considered a "local" in Cairo, which also makes it almost impossible to determine what these locals do. There are the drinkers and non-drinkers, the shisha smokers and the non-shisha smokers, the elite who hang out in fancy cafs and expensive bars, the middle class who hang out in cheaper areas, the middle class intellectuals who hang out downtown the list just goes on. Here we will be considering "locals" the majority, who are the middle class and since over 70% of Egypt's population is currently under 30 we will go with the youth.
