Africairo Cairo

The best of Africa

Mohamed from Cairo

""Africairo" in Cairo is a place with an African style, a lot of Nubian stuff & cool wall art. Come here & listen to (or even join!) the guys playing music."

While walking through the beautiful streets of Garden City, during one of the best nights of my life, I heard some good music playing from a window on the first floor of an old building in a side street. I started looking around where the entrance of this building was. After asking at the kiosk nearby, I finally got inside.

An awesome place with an African style, a lot of Nubian stuff, and some cool wall art. I was welcomed to join the jamming after paying the entrance ticket and it was really cool meeting those guys.

So if you don’t have time to go to upper Egypt, you can easily go to this place and enjoy the southern atmosphere, or you come here on a Thursday and join the jamming night, where you can play any kind of instrument if you want, or just watch and listen to these talented boys.
