Information
Location	Cairo, Egypt
Asphalt appearances

Cairo (القاهرة) is the capital of Egypt. The city's metropolitan area is one of the largest in Africa, the largest in the Middle East and the Arab, and the 15th largest in the world, and is associated with ancient Egypt, as the famous Giza pyramid complex and the ancient city of Memphis are located in its geographical area. Located near the Nile delta, modern Cairo was founded in 969 CE by the Fatimid dynasty, but the land composing the present-day city was the site of ancient national capitals whose remnants remain visible in parts of Old Cairo.

Cars with high top speed is recommended here, as there are many straightaways and ramps that allow them to get to their high top speed. However, there are some long turns that players need to drift, so good acceleration and handling is also recommended here.

Trivia

• Concept art for Cairo made by Mauro Fanelli shows a Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4, and a HTT Pléthore LC 750 racing through the city, a Ferrari LaFerrari, Volkswagen XL Sport Concept, and a W Motors Fenyr SuperSport, driving into the entrance of the Giza Pyramid, a Chevrolet Camaro GS driving on a broken floor, a Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione racing through the city, and highway bridges with different turns, and traffic seen driving on the highway.
• Although the collapsing bridge does not resemble any bridge of the Gezira Island, it could be loosely based on the El-Galaa Bridge, the 6th October Bridge, or even the Qasr Al-Nile Bridge.
• The coordinates in the About section of the Asphalt 9 website leads to the Tahrir Square.
• The Kasr Al-Nile Bridge is missing the Lion Statues found in the columns.
• Despite their flimsy appearance, colliding with any of the road signs will cause the player's vehicle to instantly wreck.
• As of the Pinnacle of Speed Update, the three variants where the bridge collapses - Urban Blaze, Scenic Route, and Pharaoh's Games - are missing in Private Races.
• The Grand Prix loading screen gives some info about this track.
  • Weather: Partly Cloudy (31°C/87.8°F).
  • Length: Variable (Depending on the track layout)
• Cairo became part of the portal mechanic in San Diego. The difference is that this version of Cairo takes place in the sunset.
