Cairo is all about the pharaohs and the incredible pyramids, but the modern and contemporary art scenes in Cairo are anything but a fantasy. Some would actually say that Cairo is the cultural melting point of the middle east. Whether or not you agree, you’ll find that there’s no shortage of artistic and cultural events in the city any time of the year. While most of the hubs in charge of this events are situated in Downtown Cairo, an area where most museums and modern monuments lay, it can easily be reached via bus, metro or Uber from anywhere in Cairo.
