Overview

Our representative will meet you at Hotel lobby And introduce you to Guide to start the day tour at 08:00
The gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt played important roles in the creation of the universe and ruled on earth to establish law, ethics, and all elements for orderly human existence. They then passed this role to the king who, accompanied by his queen, would rule as their successors according to the balanced principles of the justice goddess Ma’at.
As we flash forward in time, we see the women of Egypt in yet another era. This time with a different religion that has introduced to society, as a whole, different traditions and customs. A walk in the Old City of Cairo will show you how architecture evolved in this regard. In the old Mamluk and Ottoman homes, you will see intricately carved wooden windows, wings of homes designated to women, private baths, and several other aspects of art that were deliberately created to guard women’s privacy.

Beit Al Oud" or the "House of Oud". It is one of the most famous Oriental musical instrument stores in Cairo. The owner, Mr. Sami, was there and he answered some of my questions. He told me that the most important factor in choosing an oud is the wood that is used for its manufacture. There are several types of wood used to manufacture ouds, and Mr. Sami explained that the most important are the gouz woods imported from Turkey. Apparently that is the wood used most often. There is also the pure flowers wood, as they refer to it, and these are the most expensive types of wood. There is brasandar wood, the abanos wood, and the sag wood.
