May Square

Tahrir Square, also known as Liberation Square, is a significant public space in Cairo, Egypt. It serves as a central gathering point for demonstrations, celebrations, and public events, symbolizing political and social change. The square gained international prominence during Egypt’s 2011 revolution, when large crowds united there to demand political reform and the end of authoritarian rule. Surrounded by government buildings, monuments, and bustling streets, it reflects Egypt’s history of activism and its communal spirit. Tahrir Square remains a powerful symbol of Egyptian resilience and the ongoing pursuit of democracy.
