Cairo location and latitude and longitude (30N, 31E)

What city is located at 30 degrees north and 31 degrees east? Numerous people have been visiting my web site seeking this information.

They typically go to one of my dynamic latitude longitude finder pages and then drag the map until the wanted lat-long coordinates are showing. They then note the name of the town or city located there.

The Google javascript dynamic maps API process costs me money to provide as they have limits on their free usage and I have to pay once the daily limits are exceeded. I don't know how to charge visitors less than 1p per visit!

This page therefore uses a free non-interactive static maps available from Open Street Map. Their important attribution and link to their website is in the lower edge of the image.

Cairo, Egypt map: 30 degrees north and 31 degrees east

This location is Cairo city in Egypt. The 'rounded' number coordinates of 30 degrees north and 31 degrees east do not relate to the exact centre of the city.

I have no idea why there is so much interest in finding out what is at these coordinates. If you know please tell me and I will add the story here eric@satsig.net

Do you know anyone else who is searching with the same set of coordinates and why ?
