Nonetheless, through some simple rules you can still have a memorable time in Cairo during the summer. First, before it gets too hot, you should tour early. You should also avoid micro busses because they can get too hot at night. Also, you should know where the nearest swimming pool can be. This post highlights the attractions you can visit during the summer in Cairo.

If you're in Cairo in the month of August, you can choose to take part in the most popular event in Islamic Cairo: the festival of music of the Salah El Din Citadel! You will probably find the festival packed with excited locals who brave the swelling heat to enjoy local musical performances. This festival has also started showing musicians from the Arab world in recent years. Tickets to this function are relatively inexpensive compared with the high cost of nearly everything in Egypt. You can take a nice night to buy a festival ticket at LE5 and observe the various types of people gathered to celebrate the festival. This usually begins at 8 PM to 10 PM, although the timing can differ. Upon sunset, you can enjoy the nightlife of Cairo. Cairo usually lights up at night. You can stop and relax as you smoke Shisha in one of the local shops.

The popular Barrels Bar or the historic Windsor Hotel can also provide a cocktail. Although its heyday is long gone, the Windsor Hotel remains an excellent place to enjoy a beer while relaxing. To enjoy a great night, you can also enjoy Egyptian cultural performances outside at the Opera House in Cairo.
