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

Have the weekday blues already caught up with you on the second day of the week? We all know Mondays can be tiring, but Tuesdays can be even worse. Wednesday has the comfort of being the night before Thursday, and Thursday, well, Thursday is Thursday, the day you finally get a much-deserved weekend break. This week however, we’re so lucky that we’re getting a mid-week break on Tuesday to celebrate Mawlid al-Nabi. So if you’re looking to make the best of that break, read on for the hottest events happening in town.

If you’re looking to party late into the night on Monday, you’ll see that your options are a bit limited because it’s a dry night. However, The Tap are still offering some fun nights. You can hit The Tap Maadi for their Jam Night. Just bring over your instruments and jam with other music enthusiasts. Or head over to The Tap East, as DJ Sewwes rules the decks with the hottest funk beats. If not, you can just chill with friends at The Tap West and try out their delish food.

All the Taps (Maadi, East, and West) are hosting Game Night, so head there if you’re looking for some competitive fun. You can also head to Cairo Jazz Club in Mohandessin, as Wust El Balad delight their audience with a unique live performance. On the other side of town, Cairo Jazz Club 610 are hosting BBQ night on their terrace where you can enjoy delicious BBQ treats along with the hot beats of Safi and Aly Goede. Finally, ladies can enjoy Ladies Night at Gu Lounge as the one and only DJ Feedo takes to the decks with his unique sound and upbeat tracks.
