Monday, 04 December 2023 : Cairo (Egypt) New Year's Eve Fireworks Extravaganza: Catch the Live Stream from Cairo Tower and Pyramids

Ring in the New Year in Cairo with a blend of tradition and vibrant celebrations. As a predominantly Muslim country, Cairo's New Year's Eve celebrations have evolved, particularly catering to international visitors. Experience the spectacular New Year's Eve fireworks display at Cairo Tower. Introduced last year, this impressive pyrotechnic show, reflecting in the river, welcomed the new year. Hopefully, this will become a new tradition.

Another iconic spot for fireworks is the Pyramids. In 2018, Cairo authorities made an extra effort to boost tourism with a stunning fireworks display and light show over the pyramids. While this hasn't been consistent, keep an eye out for announcements about this year's festivities.

While in Cairo, explore the iconic sights such as the pyramids of the Giza plateau, the Great Sphinx, Al Qalaa Citadel, Tahrir Square, or indulge in some shopping at the Festival City Mall. The relatively cooler temperatures during this time of the year make it an ideal period for outdoor activities.

Cairo's vibrant nightlife comes alive on New Year's Eve. Explore popular bars and clubs such as Tree Lounge, Radisson Blu Hotel, AlMarkeb, The Tap East, Wunderkind, Cairo Jazz Club, and Safir Hotel. These venues compete to host the most popular and lively parties.

Choose from a variety of hotels in Cairo, with top-end options reasonably priced compared to similar large cities. If you want to be close to the pyramids, consider Mena House, Le Meridien Pyramids Hotel, Pyramids View Inn, or the Steinberger Cairo Pyramids Hotel. Many hotels host their own New Year's Eve parties.

Cairo offers a plethora of dining options. Consider Sachi, Fayruz Lebanese Restaurant, Birdcage, and Indira Indian Restaurant. Vegetarians and vegans will find ample choices.

While there used to be webcams of the Pyramids, their current status is uncertain. Keep an eye out for live streaming options to capture the New Year's Eve atmosphere.
