Things to Do in Cairo This Weekend

The World Cup is dominating the weekend in Cairo, which means its slim pickings for those who don't enjoy watching an hour and a half of grown, sweaty men running around in shorts and long socks. Skip the first one if you are indeed one of these people.

ELLIE OF LONDON @ SAIGON RESTAURANT & LOUNGE
(Thursday)

Fairmont Nile City's Saigon welcomes back resident jazz diva, Ellie of London, for another night of live music. Don't look into her eyes - you'll get lost and your life will become a constant pursuit of getting her attention via social media. It happened to me.
