Neighborhood · Zamalek
Feels like a different world from the rest of Cairo once you get off the main road, with lots of street cats.
Cairo Tower
Landmark · Zamalek · brief mention
Described as just a spire surrounded by parks and highways, which makes the area tricky to walk through.

The main entrance by the Sphinx is loud and hectic with constant touts. An Uber from the city center costs about $3.

Coffee costs about $2, the camel meatballs with bulgur are recommended, and a full lunch is about $20.
The First Mall
