In these pages you will hopefully find interesting tips on how to take advantage of Cairo's many cultural opportunities, with particular attention to live events. Cairo Live Events Guide does not pretend to be exhaustive but will try to cover main events open to the public.

This is a private, independent, nonprofit endeavour. This blog was started in August 2008 by Cairowanderer who has been running it solo up to May 2011. Since then Cairene Beat contributes as well to the blog.

Jenin Camp Youth Orchestra performs in Israel

This is a slight departure from the main topic of this blog because I am not going to "advertise" a live event that will take place in Cairo. In fact it is not even a forthcoming event but one that took place already.
These two articles stroke a chord in me and I like to share them -without comments- with you, as I believe you are interested both in art and the Middle East (otherwise why should you read this blog?). They are both from the IHT and are just three days apart one from the other.
