The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

The number 13 may be synonymous with bad luck, but that’s all about to change this year. We can’t think of anything more fortunate than that fateful day 13 years ago when the definitive guide to living in the capital was born! Yup, that’s right, Cairo 360 has officially hit its teen years.  

It’s been 13 wondrous years of searching every corner of Cairo’s busy streets to bring you the best hidden gems and hot spots around. Over the years, we’ve come to treasure our readers just as much as we treasure Cairo itself! So, we want to take this opportunity on our 13th anniversary to let you all in on our favourite parts of living in Egypt’s beautiful capital. From jaw-dropping music performances to the launch of local brands and enough amazing restaurants to have our waistlines begging for mercy, there is so much to enjoy!  

Keep an eye out for all the extra special content to come as we take you through 13 reasons to feel lucky for living in Cairo. 

Of course, we’ll be doing it up even bigger than ever this year at Cairo Jazz Club 610 as we ring in another year with some of our favourite people. This party will be one to remember, with beats provided by AK the DJ and Bubblegum Kollectiv. It just wouldn’t be a Cairo 360 event without CJC; we love it so much we may even move our headquarters there. 

Although it’s been over a decade since our inception, Cairo 360’s goal of helping readers discover everything that our city has to offer will never change. So most of all, we’d like to thank you, our beloved readers, for continuing to inspire us to be bolder and better as each year passes!
