The Restaurant is an embodiment of the Fatimid era, and it feels like a trip back to that time. From the ancient door to the uniform of the staff, even the lighting fixtures and the carpets. There’s even a shoe cleaner sitting in one of the corners of the café. This restaurant and café were originally called Khan El Khalili, but Naguib Mahfouz’s continuous visits, and his winning of the Nobel Prize made the owner change its name. Once the clock ticks 9 pm, you can enjoy delightful oriental music with singers performing classical songs.

Located in: Khan El Khalili.
