See the Facebook Group now showing FRIDAY 14TH MAY ONLY
The 2010 El Korba Festival Baghdad Street, Heliopolis, Cairo will be held on 15th May.
This is a great fun street festival and here's a blog I wrote about the 2008 one El Korba Festival 2008 blogpost
I have been 2 years in a row now. Unfortunately I will not be able to go to this year's festival as I have other plans.
Enjoy!!
Oh, and by the way, they have a Facebook Group this year you can join!

Getting there - you can take the tram from Ramses Train Station (central Cairo) to Roxy (about 20 minutes and 50 pst) and it's around 10 minutes walk.

Hi,

OBC
The person I contacted doesn't know.
ReplyDeleteIt is very hard to find out who is responsible for organizing this festival!
Perhaps the information is available on Google in Arabic somewhere?
I found these links which may be of some help to you

Perhaps if you call the phone numbers on the links they may be able to help.
I wonder what the Korba festival is? I have passed the area during Eid once and there were thousands of youth with fireworks and stuff...is that what it is?
