Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Cairo right now.
Multiscreen cinema complexes are springing up all over the city, usually linked to major malls. Foreign films are subtitled in Arabic and usually start 30 minutes after the scheduled time (arriving 15 minutes after that time is usually fine). All theaters have reserved seating. Also note that most embassies have cultural centers that show original-language (and uncensored) movies—these are well worth looking into if you're in the mood to see a film.
Better known by its former name, Townhouse Gallery, this art space has carved its place in Downtown’s cultural landscape by hosting live performances, film screenings, and lectures, as well as contemporary art exhibitions.
Since the early 1990s, this gallery has been a pillar of Cairo's contemporary arts scene, highlighting talented local and international artists. Every month, the gallery organizes temporary exhibitions, performances, discussions, and lectures. It also regularly collaborates with galleries in Switzerland, Italy, Turkey, and Tunisia.
