**★★★★★ Mahmoud el-sawaf — 6 years ago
it's not like any other spot in cairo. it is full of the old Egyptian architectural stylings ,khan elkahlili with its unique shopping taste moreover lots of orienatls cafe where friends can chill listening to live oriental music . El Hussein mosque also is just a perfect spot for prayers as for it's history.
**★★★★★ Dana Humaidan — 6 years ago
It's historical, yet you can sit and have coffee and tea in it! This is exactly the spot that makes Cairo magical! I sat there as my friends told me the story of zainab khatoun and what this place was over the centuries, mostly a free hospital.

Such a historic place must be visited as it has the beauty of the Egyptian architecture during the middle middle age, also the cafe has more than one style of sitting, like Arabian nights. I ordered tea pot with small glasses it was strong and tasty and wounderful hookahs. You all must visit it specially after midnight.
**★★★★☆ Omar Fahmy — 3 years ago
Arabian nights atmosphere Fresh air, good music, somehow crowded but not too much, not expensive, Shisha man is awful, Hard to find a parking spot but the all experience was wonderful.
