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.
