The celebration includes a rich and varied program; Where a documentary film will be shown under the title: From Its Fully Paths, dealing with the history of the city's historic neighborhoods and paths, and a video of the most important events of the biography of Cairo. Friends of the initiative and lovers of the city's heritage will present a number of artistic paragraphs that vary between storytelling, singing, playing and poetic recitation.
On the sidelines of the celebration, an exhibition of paintings by the Scottish painter Robert Hay that he painted for Cairo landmarks in the mid-19th century will be held, as well as contemporary photographs of the same paintings by the artist Shaima Fekry.
