Naguib Mahfouz Cafe

Named after Egypt's famous Nobel Prize winning author, this cafe is a haven of air-conditioned tranquillity and a wonderful place to rest after haggling in Cairo's main bazaar - the Khan el Khalili.

Smiling waiters wearing fezzes bring smoking shisha pipes to the tables as Egyptian businessmen mix with tourists and families.
