Explanation

Cairo's name in Arabic (Al-Qahirah) literally means 'The Vanquisher' or 'The Triumphant'. The city was founded in 969 AD by the Fatimid caliph Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah, who chose this victorious name to commemorate the conquest of Egypt. The other options are capital cities (Khartoum - Sudan, Rabat - Morocco, Tripoli - Libya) but their names don't have this specific Arabic meaning.
