Join us for the second edition of the AUC Tahrir CultureFest from April 10 to 12, 2025 on the University’s iconic Tahrir Square campus. This year’s festival celebrates Cairo as a global city — a vibrant mix of cultures that bridges Africa, the Mediterranean and the Arab world. A cultural hub of the global South, Cairo connects heritage, people and history in a dynamic contemporary setting. The festival brings together AUC’s community with our friends and neighbors and features book talks, discussions, performances, exhibitions, a bazaar, a children’s corner and a food fair that captures the city’s multicultural flavor.
