Sheikh Zayed & 6th October · Sheikh Zayed
Arkan Plaza
An open-air centre in Sheikh Zayed, shops and restaurant terraces.
€€€ High end
West of Cairo, a set of open-air galleries rather than an enclosed mall: pedestrian alleys, terrace cafés, Egyptian designer shops. In the evening it is a neighbourhood outing more than a shopping destination.
The extra bit
It is where to find contemporary Egyptian fashion labels, absent from the big malls.
Know before you go
Little shade during the day: the walk is pleasant after sunset.
