For those seeking some lively action, Cairo and Alexandria offer a variety of trendy nightclubs, lounges and beach bars where both modern music and traditional belly dance performances set the vibrant scene.
Venture on a captivating sound and light show at the Pyramids or Luxor Temple that bring Egypt's epic history to life in a stunning spectacle of light and sound.
