WELCOME TO THE AUC TAHRIR CAMPUS SERVICESThe historic AUC Tahrir campus is a landmark and cultural oasis in the heart of Cairo. A gathering place for lovers of literature, theatre and all forms of art and culture.

Inside the Historic Palace building are the Oriental Hall and Ewart Memorial Hall. Oriental Hall is decorated in traditional Islamic style and is frequently used for receptions, debates, press conferences and performances. Ewart has a long history of distinguished guests including Om Kolthoum, who preformed there in 1937. Prominent Egyptian intellectual Taha Hussein and top dignitaries, ambassadors and intellectuals from around the world have also congregated in the halls. Today, Ewart Memorial and Oriental Halls continue to serve as the prime downtown destination for a range of conferences, lectures, seminars and public events held by the University.
