the webcomic, not the city.

about

Qahera is a bilingual English/Arabic webcomic started in 2013 starring a female, visibly Muslim, Egyptian superheroine that tackles light and generally non-controversial social issues, such as Islamophobia and misogyny. The comic initially began as a joke posted on Tumblr and has since been featured on multiple local and international outlets, such as the BBC, Foreign Policy and the Washington Post and is on the cover of two books by the Harvard Press. It also won the award for Best Digital Comic Series in the first edition of the Cairo Comix Festival (2015.)

You can read the webcomic in its entirety for free on its website.
