Boulaq, is a district of Cairo, in Egypt. It neighbours Downtown Cairo, Azbakeya, and the River Nile. The westward shift of the Nile, especially between 1050 and 1350, made land available on its eastern side. There the development of Bulaq began in the 15th century. In this century, under sultan Barsbay Bulaq became the main port of Cairo.
