An outdoor concert scene with modern Egyptian groups playing both Western and Middle Eastern music. The music might vary in quality, but it's a good place to meet young Egyptians. No alcohol.

A distinctive landmark visible from most of downtown Cairo, the Cairo Tower was completed in 1961 and reaches a height of 187 m. Great day and night views over central Cairo and to the Pyramids from the revolving café and restaurant at the top. Be wary of security guards who will give 'tours' of the area and demand large tips, and note that the café requires a minimum expenditure of LE30. Although it's not written in Arabic or English at the ticket booths, Egyptians visit for LE20. Unlike most sights in Egypt, there is no secondary student pricing. There can be huge queues for the "standard" elevator, hence why they have a "express" elevator for an additional ticket. If you still want to visit with "standard" fee, give yourself some time for the possible waiting.
