Things to Do in Cairo This Week

First of all, brrrrr – it’s cold. Second of all, get over the cold, because as tempting as it is to go into hibernation mode, Cairo’s bars and clubs have plenty going on this week, with the likes of the Tap, Cairo Jazz Club and Nacelle ready and waiting to lure you out of your warm, warm homes and into the arms of that sweet, sweet combination of music and alcohol…

URBAN SUNDAY @ THE TAP
(Sunday)

Essentially a fixture at the Tap nowadays, there are few better DJs in Cairo to lead the Maadi bar’s Urban Sunday than Ramy DJunkie – which he’ll be doing this week. Why can’t everything be that simple?
