Cairo University is an institute of higher education located in Giza, Egypt. Organic colleges preceeded a establishment of the university. For instance, Mohamed Ali established the College of Engineering (Mohandes khana مهندسخانة) c. 1820, which were shut down by Mohamed Said Pasha, c. 1850. These are a effect of an effort in the period of British colonial rule to establish a national center for liberal thought. It was founded December 21, 1908. British occupation authorities, led by Lord Cromer, opposed the school's creation, fearing it would foster dissent. Cairo University has, among others, the School of Law and a School of Medicine. A School of medicine, as well referred to as Alkasr Alaini, further properly, (al-Qasr al-'Ayn), was one of the first medical schools in Africa and the Middle East. Its number 1 building was donated by Alaini Pasha. Since so it has expanded enormously.[http://www.cu.edu.eg/Faculties/Medicine.asp] Graduates include Yasser Arafat, Mohamed Atta al-Sayed and Saddam Hussein.
