The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

We love us a long weekend, but we certainly despise spending it in this weather in the crowded streets of Cairo. If you are stuck in the capital like us, we got you. There’s so much to do and so many events happening that you won’t have time to be bored or think about the summer heat. 

Thursday

Aguzi at The Tap West 

Do you prefer partying to songs by RiRi and Drake rather than Techno and House music? We understand your longing for music with lyrics or at a least a chorus, and Aguzi is here to play some of your favourite commercial pop hits.  

For reservations, call: 0106 0000 867

Soul Trains & Frogmoose at Cairo Jazz Club 

We love starting off the weekend with some cheerful music. Soul Trains will be playing some of the top RnB, funk and soul beats that will keep you moving all night. Frogmoose will be closing the night with a groovy set of funk music.

For reservations, send CJC a FB message between 12-8 PM.

Shika Saber, Heikal & Junior at Cairo Jazz Club 610

Since we were able to provide an event for the pop music lovers, we now have a surprise for all the house music enthusiasts. Shika Saber and Heikal will be playing house beats b2b, followed by Junior who will be closing the night with a set of his multicultural sounds. 

For reservations, send CJC 610 a FB message between 12-8 PM.

Friday

Fighting at Rawabet Art Space

Disclaimer: no martial arts or bloody fists in this performance. We are sorry to disappoint whoever was excited to witness some on–stage violence, but this performance is a contemporary dance that discusses the fights we have within ourselves. The talented Shayma Shoukry and Mohamed Fouad will be moving to the musical rhythms of Ahmed Saleh.

Strawberry Swing at The Tap West

It doesn’t seem like ColdPlay will be coming to Egypt anytime soon, but thank god we have Strawberry Swing to still give us the same vibes.
