Cafe Riche

Once the centre of Cairo's intellectual activity, Cafe Riche survives as a cosy bar and bistro. With a distinctive wood panelled interior adorned with caricatures of famous Egyptians, a sense of the academic endeavour of yesteryear is palpable. Customers can stay for a quick drink, or settle at a table and order food. The basement bar offers a particularly intimate atmosphere in which to sample Sakara, a popular beer among the people of Egypt.
