Haroun El Rashid Nightclub

Cairo


This five-star club is all red curtains and white marquee lights. Top seats, at tables nearest the stage go for LE1900 (drinks not included), with the price tag getting cheaper the further back you sit. The eye-watering cost is because this is where the famous Dina undulates, but – handy hint – Dina only ever dances on Thursday nights.
