Habanos Embassy Cigars Lounge

The unmistakable smell of cigar prevailed at the inauguration of the Habanos Embassy Cigars Lounge, the first one of its type opened in Cairo, Egypt.

The lounge, located at the Kempinski Nile Hotel, is reserved basically for a select group of diplomats and local and foreign businessmen and was designed to become an exclusive place for gathering and talk business. Read more

Buddha Bar

Cairo’s Buddha Bar is actually a pretty cool place. It’s a split level room, with dining room downstairs and bar upstairs, and even has a non-smoking section. The decor is semi-cheesy Buddha chic, heavy on the red, with a massive seated golden Buddha dominating the room, a huge chandelier, various hanging lanterns and different coloured spotlights, a geometrically exuberant ceiling, and black light over the bar.

Pour Vous

Pour Vous is a rooftop bar on top of the Nile Zamalek Hotel, in Zamalek. While the bar is a pretty simple affair – just an open rooftop with functional tables and chairs, and not much in the way of decoration – the views from Pour Vous are stunning. The hotel is towards the east of the island, and the rooftop looks out over the Nile. You can see the Conrad Hotel and the “twin towers” over the river, and see a large swathe of the Nile curving round to the north-east. Read more

Odeon Palace Bar

The Odeon Palace Bar is one of the most popular bars in Cairo. Situated on top of the Odeon Palace Hotel, just off Talaat Harb street, the bar is a godsend: it is open 24 hours a day!

The bar itself is actually quite pretty: beautiful mashrabia panelling and oriental style lamps are dotted around, and there are a number of cosy nooks and crannies to curl up in. Most people, however, head straight to the outdoor terrace. Read more

Pub 28

Walking into Pub 28 on Zamalek is like walking into a British local pub. The joint is heavy on the wooden panelling and arches, dimly lit by chunky iron lamps, and there is a large, well-stocked bar. Read more

Cairo Rugby Club

Cairo Rugby has always been much more than just a rugby club: we’re a sports and social club that offers all sorts of sports and social events, and encourage members who enjoy a more-relaxed lifestyle (like bar perching) as much as those who enjoy taking part in sporting activities. As a result, we cater for sportspeople and leisure seekers of all shapes, sizes, ages, genders and persuasions.

You don’t have to be a rugby player to attend our twice-weekly training sessions (click on training). There are many who do not actually play full-contact rugby, but go along for a fitness session and to play ‘touch’. Sessions are attended by both men and ladies, of all sorts of ages and skill levels, and from several nationalities.

We also have popular twice-weekly football training for those who enjoy playing with round balls (click on football), and regular cricket matches for those who favour smaller balls (click on cricket).

Cairo Rugby is a great club, offering you excellent sporting activities, social events and clubhouse facilities! Please join us and enjoy yourself!
