Wekalet El-Ghouri

Historic architecture in Islamic Cairo

Set inside a restored Mamluk-era complex, Wekalet El-Ghouri is known for its traditional Tanoura performances, where dancers turn in colourful layered skirts to live music. The setting is as memorable as the performance: a historic courtyard, stone arches and an intimate atmosphere. Check the current schedule and ticket arrangements before going, as performance days and times can change.
