Our driver will wait for you in front of your hotel in Cairo or Giza around six o'clock to take you to Al Ghori Agency, a few steps away from the Qubba and near Al Azhar Mosque, Al Ghori Agency, established in 909 AH - 1503 AD, which was used as a commercial center, where Egyptian merchants and visitors from other countries would meet.
The agency consists of five floors, with an open rectangular courtyard in the center, where the five floors wrap around the courtyard. The first and second floors were used as shops for the sale and storage of goods, while the upper floors housed independent residences for merchants. The southern façade is the main façade of the agency and has the main entrance.
Since the end of 2000, the agency entered a five-year restoration project. In 2005, the Ghori Agency reopened its doors as an archaeological site and a cultural center, the Ghori Agency Centre for Traditional Arts, which works for the cultural and human development of the Islamic Cairo region by providing cultural services.
The center used to host performances by the Tanoura Heritage Troupe, but the coronavirus pandemic stopped those performances inside the agency and moved them to its neighbouring Al Ghori Dome.
One of the cultural services within the agency is its ‘ceremonies’ for visual artists, in which they create their paintings inspired by the heritage atmosphere that envelops the place.After the show, you will be transferred to your hotel.
