Tseppas

A patisserie of Greek origin, in Cairo since the beginning of the last century.

Budget

One of the houses inherited from Egypt's Greek community: cakes, dry biscuits, chocolates. The displays have not changed much, and that is as much the point as the cakes.

The extra bit

Dry biscuits travel better than cream cakes: the obvious present to take home.

Know before you go

Some historic branches have closed: check the one you want before crossing town.
