Cairo · Fustat

Darb 1718

A contemporary art centre in Old Cairo, with evening concerts and exhibitions.

€€ Mid-rangeOff the beaten track

Between the Fustat pottery workshops and the Coptic churches, an independent venue programming exhibitions, alternative music gigs and screenings. The terrace looks over the pottery kilns' chimneys and, beyond, the Citadel.

The extra bit

Combine with Old Cairo during the day: the district is worth seeing before the venue opens.

Know before you go

Irregular programming: check there is an event before coming, or the place may be closed.
