Cairo · Nasr City

The tables of Nasr City

The district where you eat at any hour: grills, Yemeni, Syrian, fast food.

€€ Mid-range

Nasr City packs a density of restaurants few districts match: chains, Yemeni and Syrian houses, grills and deliveries running until dawn. It is not a tourist district; it is where Cairo has dinner.

The extra bit

It is the best district to taste Gulf and Levantine cooking without leaving Cairo.

Know before you go

Distances are long and streets numbered: note the exact address before ordering a taxi.
