Cairo University is prepping for President Barack Obama's historic visit on Thursday. Old and cracked roads are being repaved and workers have been busy mowing the lawns and planting new shrubs and flowers. Initially, Obama was scheduled to speak at the world's oldest university, Al Azhar, built almost a thousand years ago. However, for security reasons, Cairo University was chosen. The university is one of the oldest secular institutions of higher learning in the Arab world. It is also the largest university in Egypt, and it is often the site of pro-democracy demonstrations.
