The small, but vibrant, remaining Greek community in Cairo, Egypt has its roots deep in history.
Recently, after two years of restoration work, the historic Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, which was built in 1914 and dominates the center of the Egyptian capital, was reopened in September.
Earlier in the year, the Greek Hospital of the city was expanded and refurbished with an outpatient clinic, becoming a completely modernized, state-of-the-art facility.
