Wael El Fashny sings at El Sawy Culturewheel on Saturday 21 November

The Egyptian singer Wael El Fashny plays El Sawy Culturewheel's River Hall in Zamalek on 21 November at 8pm, with tickets from EGP 400.

End of 26th of July Street, Zamalek, Cairo

Wael El Fashny is coming back to El Sawy Culturewheel. The singer is on the Zamalek venue's programme for Saturday 21 November, from 8pm to 10pm, in the River Hall, the Culturewheel's main hall for concerts.

El Fashny is one of the best known voices of Egyptian television, and his concerts at the Culturewheel draw a crowd that comes as much for the drama themes as for the tarab. The November concert comes in one of the busiest months of the year in Cairo, the same weekend as the closing days of the Cairo International Film Festival, so expect the Zamalek streets around the 26th of July bridge to be busy.

Tickets for River Hall concerts at the Culturewheel start at EGP 400 for this night, according to the venue's listing, and are sold on the Culturewheel website through the "book now" button on the event page. The venue's house rules are strict and worth knowing before you go. Seating follows the number printed on your ticket. Tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged. Photography, filming and live streaming are not allowed during the concert, and neither are food, drinks or smoking.

Every person needs a ticket of their own, whatever their age, and children get no discount. Children under five are not admitted to this kind of concert, since only events announced as open to all ages take them.

El Sawy Culturewheel is at the end of 26th of July Street in Zamalek, under the bridge. Book early if you want seats near the stage, arrive before 8pm to find your seat, and plan your parking or take a taxi, as the street fills up on concert nights.
