Transfer to Wekalet El Ghouri
Your driver drops you at this restored 16th-century caravanserai in the heart of Islamic Cairo, originally built as a trading complex and now used as a performing arts venue. Its stone courtyard and elevated stage host the Wekalet El Ghouri performance most evenings of the week.
