For the past month, performers from the Downtown contemporary arts festival (D-Caf) have taken over parts of central Cairo -- an area more often known for protests, teargas and police brutality. Here, the festival's artistic director, Ahmed el-Attar, explains why it is important for artists to reclaim public space in Egypt.

We wanted to create a place where people came to us as opposed to us having to go to them and now people do. Almost every major curator working on the biennale scene has walked through this space looking at artists. So if you're an artist in Cairo today you have an opportunity of meeting curators that you would not even be able to get near if you were in London, and they know it. And it's great because the work is really strong.

Art is a weapon! This motto still holds true in Cairo. After 30 years of autocracy, President Mubarak was swept away by his people. Now the street belongs to them, the young rebels and artists. Graffiti sprayers and painters make the walls speak.

It's Cairo Time!!!!
There are a lot of nice places all over the world , There are a lot of beautiful countries all over the world .. But there is one wonderful citis on the earth called [ Cairo] .. Welcome to the land of wonders .. Welcome to Cairo.
Cairo, Egypt has always been attracting travelers, dating back over 10 centuries ago to the time of the Mamluks. However, the beautiful, hectic, crowded, surprising, enchanting (and every other cool sounding adjective) city of Cairo is still in the eyes of the Egyptians the City Victorious, known officially as al-Qahirah or simply Masr, the name for Egypt as a whole. Cairo is one of the world's largest urban areas and offers many sites to visit. It is the administrative capital of Egypt and, close by, is almost every Egypt Pyramid, such as the Great Pyramids of Giza on the very edge of the city. There are also ancient temples, tombs, gorgeous Christian churches, magnificent Muslim monuments, and of course, the Egyptian Antiquities Museum all either within or nearby to the city.
As long as you're willing to loosen your senses and lose yourself to this majestic city, you can discover the sweetness of Cairo; the coziness of small cafes and the pleasure of strolling along narrow streets. It would be impossible to accurately describe Cairo fairly; it is truly one of a kind.
Cairo, Egypt is an amazing city full of life and movement, and it is that way almost 24 hours a day, with the noisy honking of horns, children playing in the streets and merchants selling their wears and services.
The city provides great culture; including art galleries and music halls, such as the Cairo Opera House, Sawy Culture Wheel, Ahmed Shawky Museum as well it should, being one of the largest cities in the world. It also provides accommodations fitting every budget from the grandest in the world, such as the Four Seasons and the Cairo Marriott to budget hotels and hostels.
When you're done with the sightseeing and morning exhaustion, embrace Cairo's incredible selection of shopping, leisure and nightlife activities. Shopping ranges from the famous Khan el-Khalili souk, (or bazaar) largely unchanged since the 14th century, to modern air-conditioned centers displaying the latest fashions. All the bounty of the East can be here. Particularly good buys are spices, perfumes, gold, silver, carpets, brass and copper-ware, leather work, glass, ceramics and mashrabiya. Try some of the famous street markets, like Wekalat al-Balaq; for fabrics, including Egyptian cotton, the Tentmakers Bazaar; for appliqué-work, Mohammed Ali Street; for musical instruments and, although you probably won't want to buy, the Camel Market makes a fascinating trip. This is, and has been for over a thousand years, truly a shopper's paradise.
EGYPT 801 - GAYER ANDERSON MUSEUM I -(by Egyptahotep)
GAYER ANDERSON MUSEM I ; (Bayt el Kritiliya I)
This Fantastic Museum unknown for the most of people is in my opinion one Marvel more of Egypt which should be visited for everybody.The Gayer Anderson Museum so named for a British doctor, John Gayer Anderson, who restored and unified two old buildings of XVIth Cent.is Located in Cairo, beside of the Mosque Ibn Tulun.
Gayer Anderson decorated the rooms in a variety of Oriental styles and filled them with objects from his travels. In addition to objects from Iran and Turkey, and many Egyptian items (ancient Egypt included), as well as a collection of paintings and drawings done by 20th century artists. The building, with its wooden mashrabiya (screened windows), is also known for being a set for the James Bond 007 agent movie The Spy Who Loved Me.
The museum has also one of the few working Islamic period fountains in Egypt, and has a fine collection of birthing chairs and medical equipment in keeping with Gayer Anderson ’s job as a doctor
