We visited this animal charity on recommendation on our recent trip to Egypt. We were impressed by the level of care shown to the many working animals that the centre caters for and the dedication of the team of volunteers (some from the UK) and the local Egyptian staff.
2. Makan Egyptian Center for Culture and Art

5.0 based on 6 reviews
Makan ECCA is a unique music venue that aims to present traditional music and musicians in Egypt as renewable cultural resources that bridge Mediterranean and sub-Saharan African cultures. ECCA further encourages efforts to re-awaken the multi-layered complexity of Egyptian culture of music and arts, to return the music to the critical role it has played in the daily life of the Egyptian people.

I attend performances at Makan regularly but Taksir Sharqi has to my favorite act there. The mix of traditional Egyptian instruments and Western ones works well and the performers have a great chemistry and energy. I definitely recommend this whether you live in Cairo or are visiting, The place is small so arrive early to get seats. Only down side is that seats are not very comfortable.
3. Bibliotheca Alexandrina
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,780 reviews
Located near the site of the ancient library of Alexandria, this modern version is an eleven-story, cylindrical-shaped building that houses more than eight million books. A re-imagining of Alexandria's ancient Great Library, this gorgeously designed cultural center contains a host of museums as well as one of the modern world's most ambitious libraries. Its architecture - a giant sun disk - presides over the waterfront Corniche, while inside, a huge reading room can hold eight million volumes. Below themain library, visitors can explore a range of beautifully curated exhibitions. TheManuscript Museum with its magnificent collection of ancient texts and scrolls and the Antiquities Museum with its Graeco-Roman antiquities and statuary found during underwater exploration in the harbor are the two prime attractions. But there are also rotating art exhibitions, a permanent Egyptian folk art collection, and a Science Museum and Planetarium that are aimed squarely at children.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina is more than a library! Opened in 2002, here is a cultural complex that also includes a planetarium, four museums, art galleries for temporary and permanent exhibitions, specialized museums, and a manuscript restoration laboratory. The library has shelf space for eight million books! The main structure is a contemporary granite building, circular in design and covered in carvings done by local artists. The library offers guided tours, but since we had our own guide with us, we opted to just peek inside. It was very crowded the day we visited because the schools were on holiday. By the way, you’ll have a great view of the Citadel from here (and remember to look for Bibliotheca Alexandrina when you’re at the Citadel).

We love to go to Wekalet El Ghouri especially to watch the Tannoura show that it's really one of a kind show! The place is very well maintained and displays the beauty of Egyptian architecture. The tannoura performance is an hour show: instruments solos and spiritual band singing and the other half of the show is the whirling dervishes dance! the show runs every Saturday/Monday/Wednesday at 7 PM and we have to be there minimum one hour ahead to buy the tickets (the sold out quickly). Highly recommended!
