Cairo Opera House, Gezira


cultural institute


The Cairo Opera House is not operating an open hotspot but someone nearby is, in the garden in front of the Egyptian Museum of Modern Art the signal was strong enough (wmWiFi said 70% whatever that means), for me to enjoy browsing while moving around freely.

no idea who is running the hotspot or how far it reaches will do some tests one day.

when the security is not itchy this is a perfect spot, with a bit of green and shade, the sculpture outside etc.

in the summer there are many outdoor events and concerts there, who can ask for more, wifi, cool breeze and some music.


good

"when the security is not itchy"

I know what you mean.

The previous manager of the Opera House who happened to be YAO (yet another Officer) has ordered all the nice chairs removed from corridors, the garden, and from around the fountain.

In this country people are not supposed to hang around in public places.

When you pass through the 3/4 closed gate, brushing by the nose of the ghalban yet pathetic security man, you are to go directly to attend your show, and you are required to leave directly afterwards!

Hopefully, this will change one day, but it needs more than a regime change as this has become part of our culture.
