Cairo · Maadi

The tables of Maadi

The leafy southern district, its terraces and its international dining.

€€ Mid-range

Maadi has a mixed Egyptian and foreign population, and its dining shows it: Italian, Indian, Japanese, brunches and specialty coffee, in villas with gardens. The district where you dine outdoors without the centre's noise.

The extra bit

Street 9 and around it hold most of it: park once and walk the circuit.

Know before you go

The metro reaches Maadi from the centre in twenty minutes, with no traffic.
