Egypt's capital (5)

I believe the answer is:

cairo

'egypt's capital' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cairo that I've seen before include "Capital city on the Nile" , "Al Qahira" , "City near the Nile delta" , "African city" , "Capital of Egypt" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, The Star Tribune, the Newsday, the Evening Standard and the Universal.
