Everyone can celebrate Old Cairo at the Oriental Institute. Both adults and families are invited to drop by the Museum throughout the afternoon to experience the topic of our special exhibition A Cosmopolitan City: Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Old Cairo through music, hands-on activities, poetry, and more. The event begins with a lecture on the history of Old Cairo and ends with a performance by The Middle Eastern Music Ensemble.
