Sufi Cafe and Bookstore

Tucked on the first floor of a residential building at 12 Sayed Bakry Street near 26 July Corridor in Zamalek, Sufi doubles as a bookstore, independent coffee spot, and cultural venue. By day it attracts readers and remote workers; evenings bring concerts, poetry readings, and meditation sessions. The informal atmosphere inside an old apartment layout, spread across several distinct rooms, gives it a living-room quality rare in Cairo's cafe landscape.
