| | Egypt: My Favorite Cairo Neighborhood in Cairo |
 | | However, my personal preference is Zamalek, perhaps because I am most familiar with the area, but also because it is an upscale area with much to offer. |
 | | The island is basically divided between the Zamalek neighborhood and the public landmarks and facilities of the old Gazira area of the island where the Cairo Opera House, Gazira Club, Cairo Tower, artistic and cultural centers, and even a fish garden and Planetarium may be found. |
 | | In 1888, a group of Sudanese missionaries and refugees were granted land on Zamalek, and today, we find the ancestor of the original church, St. Joseph's, on Ahmed Sabry street very nearby the Longchamps. |
