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.

C.L.E.G. 1st Birthday

Exactly one year ago I opened this blog with the intention of providing few friends with information about cultural events in Cairo. Since then, this site has recorded exactly 22,316 hits.
I had a lot of fun, increased enormously my knowledge of the local scene and received many mails of support and practical help. It gives me satisfaction to read that people have gone out in the evening, had fun, discovered new venues, enjoyed a movie, new bands and new music thanks to this blog. That's what it's all about after all.
Many thanks to all of you and all the artists and organizers of events in Cairo.
