January 25 2011 was a day to make a big wind of change in Egypt, New Egypt was borne in This Square . Tahrir Square (Liberation Square) is a major public town square in Downtown Cairo, Egypt. Tahrir Square has been the traditional site for numerous major protests and demonstrations over the years, including the 1977 Egyptian Bread Riots, and the March 2003 protest against the War in Iraq. The square was originally called Midan Ismaileyya , after the 19th-century ruler Khedive Ismail, who commissioned the new downtown district's 'Paris on the Nile' design. After the Egyptian Revolution of 1919 the square became widely known as Tahrir (Liberation) Square, but the square was not officially renamed until the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, which changed Egypt from a constitutional monarchy into a republic. Finally Tahrir Square was the focal point of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution against former president Hosni Mubarak , So let's see this historical Square. |
