As part of a Goodwill Tour of Africa and the Middle East, arranged by the US State Department, Louis Armstrong and his wife, Lucille, visited Cairo in January 1961. 



The visit to Cairo was part of a three month tour that saw Armstrong, as a skilled ambassador for his country, and his All Stars band performing in 27 cities in Africa and the Middle East
