October War Panorama

Opened on October 5, 1989, and recently re-developed in 2018-2019. It offers immersive guided tours through multiple halls covering the 1973 October War. Experience Egypt's modern military history at the October War Panorama in Nasr City, featuring immersive halls and an open-air display of military hardware. The site is located in Salah Salem, Nasr City, Cairo, and is treated here as a Museum. Before travelling, confirm current opening times, admission rules and any same-day access restrictions. Older operating details are retained as historical reference only and are not treated as current unless separately verified. Current Egyptian Armed Forces announcements confirm that the October War Panorama remains an active public military heritage site in 2026. The Ministry of Defense opened the Panorama’s open-air exhibition area to visitors during multiple national commemorations this year, including Martyrs’ and Veterans’ Day in March and the Sinai Liberation anniversary in April. The complex commemorates the 1973 October War through a panoramic battlefield presentation and military displays, and Cairo Governorate continues to list it among the capital’s principal cultural attractions on Salah Salem Street. These recent official visitor events provide direct evidence of continuing operation. However, the Ministry announcements reviewed concern specific commemorative access periods rather than a complete year-round timetable, so ordinary-day tour times and admission prices should still be confirmed before travelling. The Panorama therefore functions both as a commemorative monument and as an interpretation centre where outdoor military hardware and immersive indoor displays place the 1973 conflict within Egypt’s modern military history. It remains a functioning public-facing military site. The Egyptian Ministry of Defense currently maintains an official visitor page for the 6th of October Panorama describing the museum display, open-air weapons exhibition, circular panorama, educational activities and the museum's 2018-2019 redevelopment. A separate Armed Forces notice dated April 23, 2026 also confirmed public access to the Panorama's open-air exhibition area during the Sinai Liberation celebrations. These current official records confirm that the Panorama remains an active public military museum and cultural site. Because the official sources reviewed do not publish a single dependable year-round timetable or current standard ticket table, visitors should still confirm the day's schedule and admission conditions before making a dedicated trip.
