Show on map (0 comments)

Al-Rehany 

This far reaching and windy Alexandrian exemplary is rumored to have the best sheesha around the local area, presented with a twist by mindful young men in savvy two-conditioned waistcoats while servers in high contrast get tea silver urns. The stylistic theme is variedly rich, incorporating grand roofs carved with elaborate flower examples, tables and seats in Islamic plans, and burgundy tablecloths.

Named for the writer of Egypt's national song of praise, this little and exceptionally pleasant nearby coffee shop, close Sharia al-Nabi Daniel, is determined to a tranquil and verdant side road around the bend from the Cavafy Museum. The seats are serenely cushioned, and the sheesha is spotless. The demographic is only men.

 This respected sheesha joint appears as though it hasn't changed a particle since opening in 1928. It's a delightfully unsteady old spot, with dusty bronze lights outside, and charmingly fusty old men contending and playing tabletop games at the tables under tremendous photographs of the previous ruler.

In spite of the fact that it may not look like much to the uninitiated (it doesn't brandish a sign), this 90-year-old foundation is a standout amongst the most essential Kahwas around the local area. It's a casual focus of business and exchange (the name generally means 'trade'), where arrangements are facilitated in time-regarded convention – over a glass of shai (tea) or ahwa (espresso).

The bistro is isolated into numerous rooms, covering an entire square. The southern side is a male-commanded range committed to recreations and casual mingling, while along the Corniche you're prone to be a piece of an unruly blend of authors, producers, understudies, expats and courting couples filling the corridor with an uproar of enlivened discussion.
