Things to do in the Nile River

The history of Egypt is quite interesting as it is located in a place where different cultures and other civilizations have met in its history. In the year 1869 Khedive Ismail was inspired to undertake the building of an opera house in the honor of the opening of the Suez Canal. He was keen to fashion the structure as an exquisite work of art, hence the six-month duration for construction. Even so, though he wished the establishment to be inaugurated with the performance of Aidas, it was delayed because of… well, politics and the internal condition of PPU. In its place, the opera ‘Rigoletto’ was staged. Rigoletto the opera has been regarded as an artistic landmark within the region but came as a loss since in October 1971 its previous structure was razed by fire and Egypt needed a new arts center so the authorities worked with Japan and the Egyptian Opera House was built on the plot of the island. Collaboration was made for a design that was of modern Islamic architecture that blended with the already existing buildings, and the at last turned out in the year 1988 as the newest historic building in Cairo, which is also the first ever opera house built in the Middle East.
