Cairo · Downtown

After Eight

Downtown's live music club, in an alley behind Talaat Harb.

€€ Mid-range

A narrow dark room hosting Egyptian bands almost every night: oriental rock, jazz, song. It is small, loud and short on comfort, and one of the best places to hear live music in Cairo.

The extra bit

Book a table on well-known band nights: the room is tiny and fills before the first song.

Know before you go

Minimum spend on gig nights, and entry may be charged depending on the line-up.

Directions

Alley off Qasr el-Nil street, Downtown, Cairo
