First we will have lunch at a lovely typical Egyptian restaurant serving the famous Egyptian dish, “koshary”, before we enjoy spending a cultural night at Makan, the Egyptian Center for Culture and Arts.

At Makan you will explore and enjoy the documented and exhibit Egypt’s traditional music and artists as living, renewable cultural resources that connect Mediterranean and Sub-Saharan African cultures.

ECCA continues to work to reawaken the multilayered complexity of Egyptian music and art culture, to restore music to its critical role in the daily lives and imaginations of Egyptians, to counter the trend of isolating it from its original communities, to share this rich resource with the world community, and to encourage perceptions of music as a source of creativity by presenting it in new contexts
