Guidebook for Garden City
Food Scene
Room Art Space is a cafe and live music venue. It is a great place to work from if you need good internet or if you are just after a well made coffee and an artsy atmosphere. In the evenings you will often find live bands, film screenings or karaoke. They do food if you're hungry but it is not on the top of our list of favourite foods. 5 minutes walk from our place through the windy safe streets of Garden City.

This restaurant is a bit more upmarket and on the expensive side, but not unaffordable. It's great for a romantic evening with really good quality food overlooking the Nile, it is also good for business meetings and that type of thing.

Drinks & Nightlife
Bab in Arabic means door, and this neighbourhood used to be the door of downtown Cairo. Horreya is a historic bar since 1913. A lovely eclectic, no frills bar where you can sit and enjoy an Egyptian beer (Stella or Sakara) amongst the characters of Cairo

One of our favourite places in Cairo. The Old Islamic City. Market stores along cobble streets. Old tea houses and we highly recommend getting yourself lost along the back streets. You can also pay entry to go to see inside the old mosques there which are quite beautiful, once you buy your ticket at the one location the ticket will be valid for the other mosques throughout the Old City.
