African republic; capital Cairo (5)

I believe the answer is:

egypt

(Other definitions for egypt that I've seen before include "African country, site of an ancient civilization" , "NE African country" , "Part of Africa" , "Cleopatra's country" , "Home of the Sphinx" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
