Cairo City Visits

Organized by Cairo Governorate, WUF12 Cairo City Visits showcase the city’s vibrant heritage through curated evening excursions.

These experiences offer a “kushari” of Cairo—like Egypt’s beloved dish, which mixes ingredients from different regions and times, these events capture the diverse flavors of Cairo. Participants can experience the Islamic marvels of Al-Moez Street, the artistry of ancient and modern pottery at Fustat Pottery Village, and a festive night of music at the Citadel Festival, all showcasing the city’s unique blend of history, culture, and artistry.
