2. **Washington D.C.:** Located on the Potomac River, significantly inland from the Atlantic coast (approx. 200 km). While it has a port, it is not typically classified as a coastal city in the same way as ports directly on the coast.
3. **Berlin:** The capital of Germany, located inland on the Spree River. It is a landlocked city.
4. **Cairo:** The capital of Egypt, located on the Nile River, far inland from both the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. It is a landlocked city.
