'''[[Wikipedia:Cairo|Cairo]]''' (Arabic: '''القاهرة''', ''Al-Qāhira''; Egyptian Coptic: '''ϯⲕⲉϣⲣⲱⲙⲓ''', ''Tikešrômi'')  is the capital city of [[Egypt]] and the largest city in [[Africa]]. [[Luigi]] had to visit it in the game ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. In the PC and NES versions, it was in the second-to-last level sets, while in the SNES version, it was in the final set.

As with all the other cities in the game, Cairo was invaded by [[Koopa Troopa]]s sent by [[Bowser]]. The Troopas stole artifacts from various landmarks of the city: [[Top Brick of the Great Pyramid|Top Brick]] of the [[Great Pyramid]], a [[Gingerbread Clock]] from the [[Mosque of Mohammed Ali]], the [[Klaft of the Sphinx|Klaft]] of the [[Sphinx (monument)|Sphinx]], and (in the PC version only) [[King Tut's Mask]] from the [[Tomb of King Tutankhamen]]. Luigi's task is to find all the artifacts and return them to their respective landmarks.

Additionally, though it does not appear, tie seller [[Ali Mustafa]], appearing in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Mario's Picross (comic)|Mario's Picross]]", is from Cairo.
