Cairo by Night Free Tour: Al-Moez, Bazaar & Sufi Show
Overview
Then we walk down the historic Al-Moez Street, filled with beautiful mosques, Islamic architecture, and stories from Cairo’s golden age.
At 6:30 PM, we head to Wekalet Al-Ghoury to secure seats for the Tanoura Show, a traditional Sufi dance performance that begins at 7:30 PM. Tickets run out fast, so early arrival is a must. While we wait, we’ll enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and have a nice chat before the show begins.

Our Guides
On arrival
Please meet your guide in front of Al-Azhar mosque, as it's well-known and easy to find. Please arrive 10 minutes early. Comfortable shoes are recommended.
Things to note
Please read the "How can the tour be free?" section.
On Fridays, the mosques are closed, so while we won’t be able to go inside, we will still enjoy the tours. The beauty of the mosques from the outside is just as impressive as the inside.
How can the tour be free?
Our concept is simple — there is no set price. Instead, you tip your guide at the end of the tour whatever amount feels right to you. Typically, guests give between $10 to €50, depending on their satisfaction and budget.
Most guides accept cash or card payments, or you can do it via our app.
Free Cancellation
You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
