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.

WEEKLY AGENDA MUSIC JAN. 9 - JAN. 15


Happy New Year to everybody!!! 

CLEG is looking forward to accompanying you in what I am sure will be an exciting cultural year on Cairo's shores of the river Nile. A big thank you to all who shared information and contributed comments ( ... and compliments) and an apology for not having been able to cover the winter holiday season as anticipated. A technical problem and my unavailability have concurred to let CLEG fall silent for the past three weeks (that's also why comments are posted only today); sorry!
