Explore the city of Cairo by night, enjoy the most amazing show of Al-Tannoura Egyptian Heritage Dance Troupe, walk in Egypt's most famous and most colourful market - Khan El Khalili, and end your tour by visiting the significant landmark of the city’s modern history - Tahrir square which hosted many events during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution.

Insider tips

  • ★Arrive early to the Tanoura performance venue at Wikalet Al Ghouri to secure good sightlines; the show draws crowds, especially on weekends.
  • ★Khan El Khalili is best explored slowly—haggling is expected and part of the experience; prices are often negotiable for quality crafts, spices, and textiles.
  • ★Wear comfortable walking shoes; the bazaar's narrow lanes and Tahrir Square's open plaza both involve substantial foot traffic and uneven surfaces.
  • ★Bring cash (Egyptian pounds) for spontaneous purchases in Khan El Khalili; some smaller vendors don't accept cards.

Good to know

  • •Duration is 1 hour 30 minutes total; plan for a moderate walking pace through crowded areas.
  • •Tour includes entrance to the Tanoura performance and guided access to Khan El Khalili and Tahrir Square; individual attraction fees typically bundled in price.
  • •Night tours may be subject to local security protocols; confirm final itinerary with your guide upon arrival.
  • •Modest dress recommended when visiting religious sites and traditional markets; long sleeves and pants are respectful.
