Cairo: Living Past, Living Future

Links to Other Sites

The Center for Middle Eastern Studies at The University of Texas at Austin maintains a website called the Middle East Network Information Center. We like to think it's one of the best websites on the Middle East available on the Internet. If you're looking for more information on topics not listed on this page, MENIC is a good place to look first.

When we were putting this site together, we used Britannica.com as our fact checker. It's easy to use, and has some of the most complete and useful information you can find on the Internet.
