Egyptian tea: warm and sweet, much like Egyptian cultureA Multi-coloured Abyss
El Feshawy Cafe: one of the oldest cafe’s in Hussein area, built in 1771 AD, many famous poets, artists, thinkers, politicians from all over the world have frequented here, including Naguib Mahfouz, who wrote many of his books here. The people stay here all night until morning, listening to old Egyptian songs played on the oud, clapping and the likes, with the haze of shisha wafting around, and trays of tea with mounds of sugar and mint leaves going around. If you shut your eyes for a second there you will miss out on many things! (El Feshawy, Cairo, Egypt)
