Details
Step into the soul of Islamic Cairo on this unforgettable daytime experience. Begin your afternoon with the spiritual rhythm of a Tanoura show, performed by Egypt’s renowned Al-Tannoura Troupe in the 16th-century Wekalet El Ghouri.
Feel the energy rise as colorful skirts whirl and musicians perform age-old Sufi melodies in an architectural masterpiece near Al-Azhar Mosque. After the performance, take a short guided walk through the historic Al-Hussein Square and into the vibrant lanes of Khan El Khalili.
