North Africa's largest city (5)

I believe the answer is:

cairo

(Other definitions for cairo that I've seen before include "North African capital" , "Port upstream from the Nile delta" , "Egyptian capital" , "Capital city on the Nile" , "Capital of Egypt" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
