The tours aim to unravel alterative narratives of Downtown. Some explores sites featured in Egyptian cinema and literature over decades, others visits Modernist architecture icons designed by pioneering Egyptian architects, or last surviving or dying photo studios, while others offer experiencing Downtown through its passageways and back alleys or on bicycles. The tours both complement and ground the discussions in everyday experience, while offering new ways to reimagine Downtown.
