DirectRooms.com – Cairo’s International Song Festival 2010 Slated for 20 to 28 August
DirectRooms.com has confirmed that the Cairo International Song Festival is held in August each year, and invites performers from all over the world to share their musical traditions with Egyptian audiences.
Cairo, Egypt, July 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Founded as a tourist attraction, the festival attracts a good number of musicians, singers and artistes to its main venue, the Cairo International Conference Centre.
The festival is organised as a competition, with prizes for the most popular performers in several categories. To illustrate the international nature of the musical offerings, a salsa band won their section at a time when Latin American dance music was very popular in Cairo.
The festival also showcases traditional Egyptian music, and celebrates famous Egyptian artistes for their contribution to the cultural life of the country. As well as musical performances, which take place all over the city, theatre shows in the conference centre’s Cheops Theatre are also given.
Cairo has been a hub for visitors to Egypt for many years, and the International Song Festival is an added attraction along with the ancient pyramids, the great tombs, the famous Sphinx and the Nile. August is a busy time for hotels in Cairo, with DirectRooms.com advising that booking early is the best way to avoid disappointment.
Lek Boonlert, DirectRooms.com’s marketing head, comments, “Musical events are always popular with visitors and locals alike, and suggests booking in advance as a good idea, especially in the busy summer season when Cairo attracts many Western visitors.”
