Khalij (Cairo)
- ... that the Khalij, an ancient canal in Cairo, was replaced by a boulevard in the 1890s?

- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Five-Pavilion Bridge
- Comment: I'm open to adjustments on wording. I've written "1890s" instead of a specific year because various sources date the filling of the canal to 1896, 1897, or 1898 (see article and additional citations there) and the second source here indicates it took place over a few years.
Created by R Prazeres (talk). Self-nominated at 21:52, 29 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Khalij (Cairo); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
article is long enough, recently created and within policy. The hook is short enough and interesting. QPQ is done. Everything looks good. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:29, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
