Cairo · Northern tip of Zamalek
Sequoia
A vast terrace at the tip of the island, where shisha is smoked with your feet above the Nile.
€€€ High end
At Zamalek's northern tip, an open-air terrace surrounded by water on three sides: cushions, low tables, shisha and a Lebanese menu. One of Cairo's big evening gatherings, very busy at the weekend and until late.
The extra bit
Book for the Egyptian weekend, and ask for an edge table: that is where the water is really beneath you.
Know before you go
A minimum spend is common in the evening, especially on the terrace: ask before you sit down.
