Townhouse Gallery Exhibits
This is the best private gallery in Cairo, and its owner William Wells is a very important figure in the city’s art scene. The exhibits change frequently and often involve impressively constructed displays. Works by some of Cairo’s most well-respected painters are displayed, including those by Hossam Sakr and Aiman Ramadan. One of the best times to visit the gallery is during Al-Nitaq, the annual Cairo arts festival in March.
