The Cairo Opera House (Dar Al-Opera Al-Masriya) photographed at night on Gezira Island, Cairo, with its domed structure bathed in red floodlighting that highlights the building's tiered stone facade and circular upper hall. A white stone arch in the foreground frames the composition, directing focus toward the illuminated main dome. Opened in 1988, the Cairo Opera House is Egypt's principal performing arts venue and a major cultural landmark in the MENA region.
