Where to find street art in Cairo (Egypt)
Cairo, Egypt's capital and Africa's largest metropolis with over 20 million inhabitants, is a city of a thousand faces, where medieval mosques, pharaonic monuments and modern buildings coexist in a fascinating disorder. Crossed by the Nile and dominated by the Giza pyramids visible from its rooftops, the city embodies several millennia of civilisation.
Its Islamic quarter, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, contains one of the largest concentrations of medieval monuments on the planet. The Khan el-Khalili market, bustling since the 14th century, and Al-Azhar University, the oldest university in the Islamic world, reflect the historical depth of a city that has never ceased to be a centre of knowledge and commerce in the eastern Mediterranean.
Since the 2011 revolution, Cairo has become one of the world's epicentres of political and social street art. Local and international artists have covered the walls of Tahrir Square and popular neighbourhoods with engaged frescoes, making the city an open-air museum and one of the boldest public art laboratories in the world.
