Cairo’s an ancient city that also happens to be a modern metropolis—it’s one of the biggest cities in the Middle East and has the traffic and noise issues to prove it. But as long as you’re not looking for solitude, Cairo—the City of the Thousand Minarets—is a splendid place to explore Egyptian history and culture.

After strolling the bazaar we stopped here for a true Egyptian meal. More than enough food served by very friendly staff. Take as much time to enjoy and relax in the air conditioning. Unique meals include pita with many sauces along with beef, chicken kebabs and a beef sausage. Dessert was good as well.
2. ZEN Cafe & Lounge
Have light snacks or refreshing beverages while you enjoy a calm atmosphere at Zen Cafe & Lounge; a cozy extension of the Lobby of Holiday Inn Cairo Maadi.

Iâve been using this place off and on while Iâm staying at the Holiday Inn. Itâs a comfortable place to sit and pass the time. The coffee is nice. Also had food and wine there. The waiters are not intrusive, pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately people are allowed to smoke inside (even though there is an outside area) which, coming from Europe I find off putting.

After walking and shopping through the Khan El Khalili Bazaar, we returned to this lovely restaurant we'd spotted. What a great choice - it ended up being the best Egyptian food we had in a week in the country. It's a pretty place, with good waiters in traditional dress. The food was delicious and there are many choices. Make sure to have a meal at Nagib Mafouz when you're in Old Cairo!
