10. 5 Hidden Gems in Downtown, Cairo

1. I absolutely LOVE all Sip branches. The place has such an aesthetic feel, coffee is amazing, and the staff are so inviting.

2. Caribou Egypt - This branch in Downtown has just recently opened. Haven’t been there except once, but I loved it, although it doesn’t have an outdoor area.

3. Eishmalh - It’s a restaurant and café that mainly features Italian cuisine. The interior design of the place is extremely exceptional. It’s also mostly crowded with expats.

4. Oldisheg - There’s something special to me about this place. It’s has a very simple and authentic feel to me and it’s also both, a restaurant and a cafe that mainly serves Egyptian and Middle Eastern food.

5. Cairoma restaurant - a REAL hidden gem! If you’re an Italian foodie, who still wants to get a local experience, then I highly recommend this place.
