Egyptian cafes smoke hookah

Illustrious background: if you want to know Egypt, you have to go to a cafe. Modern statistics show that there is about one coffee shop for every 250 people in Cairo. For the people of Cairo, the cafe is not only the center of public opinion like some Western clubs, but also the meeting place of three religions and nine streams. The Fesavi Cafe is the oldest and most famous cafe in Cairo. It is located in the famous Hariri Market in the old city of Cairo and has a long history of 238 years. Mahfud M.D., a famous Egyptian writer and winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize for literature, was a regular visitor to the cafe.

Sip slowly: most people come to Fishawi's coff eehouse for this elder. He is the Nobel Prize winner for literature-Najib Mahfud M.D. (Naguib Mahfouz).

The cafe is open 24 hours a day, with a constant flow of people, not only locals, but also many admiring tourists. The cafe's "collection": squeaking ceiling fans, dusty mirrors, yellowed photos of celebrities, including the last king of Egypt, Farook.

Here, besides drinking coffee, you can also experience Arab hookah and other exotic amorous feelings. Hookah (Sheesha) is the soul of Egyptian cafes. Many people go to cafes just to take a sip of hookah. The store prepared tobacco and charcoal fire and delivered it to the guests. Only saw the smoking filter open on one side, as long as inhaled, the smoke gurgled through the clear water in the bottom glass bottle, and a sweet taste spread. Egyptian tobacco is mostly sweet and greasy, and Maasil is the most popular flavor, but it is too strong and not too boring.
