Cairo's Signifigance
The reason the importance of Cairo is expected is because of it’s the capital of egypt and of its ancient history.The Egyptians often refer to Cairo as Misr the Egyptian Arabic name for Egypt itself,emphasizing the importance for the country.Its original name al-Qahirah means “The Vanquisher”and or”The Conqueror”,supposedly due to the fact that the planet Mars,al-Najm al-Qahir was rising at the time when the country was founded,possibly in reference to the much awaited arrival of Caliph al-Mu’izz li Din Allah who reached Cairo in 973 from Mahdia,the old Fatimid capital.In Coptic the city is known as Kahire,meaning "Place of the Sun", possibly referring to the ancient city of Heliopolis, the main seat of worship of the solar deity Ra—(or Re). The location of the ancient city is the suburb of Ain Shams. The ancient Egyptian name for the area is thought to be Khere-Ohe, "The Place of Combat", supposedly in reference to a mythical battle that took place between Seth and Horus.Sometimes the city is informally referred to as Kayro.

If Cairo was not protected,then the environmental issues that are occurring there will increase like,air pollution,noise pollution,encroachment of water(rising sea levels),tourism,development and traffic all those will occur there if this happens and not only that but the population of that city and country will also end in decreasement of that place.
The Weather
In the past,Egypt never receives any precipitation but does receive winds and strong ones too.The winds are basically the issue the problem for the weather because of strong the winds are.Due to such strong winds that they create another danger to the country that are severely dangerous called sandstorms.Sandstorms are so dangerous because you couldn't breathe due to so much sand filling through the air you could suffocate and not only that but they also blow you away due to the strong winds that are connected to the storm.
