Cairo is great fun to explore whether it be by day or by night and there is plenty to do after the sun goes down! Your cheap Cario hotel [http://directrooms.com/egypt/hotels/cairo-hotels/price1.htm] is a great source of information when it comes to finding out more about what there is to do here when night falls...
Drinking and dancing!
Many visitors do not realise how easy it is to buy alcohol here as although it is a Muslim city; it is also becoming very westernised in a bid to attract a more international status for itself. Drinking alcohol is easy to do in hotel bars while there are also a few good options outside of the hotels in the main parts of the city such as the downtown region.
Hints and tips!
It is worth bearing in mind that late night partying is not so easy to find and many places will shut up around 01:00. Speak to some locals throughout the night and you are likely to find someone who knows a club that stays open later but be prepared to walk through strange passageways and entranceways in order to get in!
Be respectful to local Muslim's who are not drinking as while they are happy to welcome you into their city; it is still important to show respect if you choose to drink alcohol in front of them so dancing on tables while singing is not advisable.
Bars in Cairo!
Some of the most basic bars in Cairo will disguise the fact that they are opening selling alcohol by calling themselves a café. Women may feel a little uncomfortable as bars in Cairo are dominated by men as Muslim women are barred from entering so if you are worried about feeling out of place then it may be wise to stick to a bar in a hotel.
Even the cheap Cario accommodation options often have bars inside and all of the bars found in the main areas of the city serve alcohol like beer and wine. The Sharia Alfy and Midan Orabi are two of the best bars in the touristy downtown area and they serve drinks at a mid-range price.
Harry's Pub, Windows on the World, Sultan Bar, Africana, Cairo Jazz Club and Jackie's Joint are some of the best in the city and most hotels will be able to help you to organise transport for getting around at night.
Eating out in Cairo!
There are a wide range of places to eat in Cairo and they range in style, taste and price as well as cuisine. All budgets are covered here with tasty street food available on every corner throughout the day and night as well as plush restaurants that offer all types of foods at high prices.
Getting around at night
The best way to get around after dark is by taxi as they are easy to find and cheap to use. Taxis in Cairo are usually black and white and visitors should be aware that women must travel in the back and men in the front. Taxis also commonly pick up other fares while driving you to your destination so do not be alarmed if they stop and someone else gets in! The Metro is open until midnight and is another good way to get around although it is worth noting that women often travel in the front carriages.
