Bars with a view
A very chic bar restaurant with a nile view, the place is on the expensive side; you should be well dressed and reserve in advance. The nile view from the terrace is great

City advice
Getting around
I always recommend using Uber or Careem for transportation.
Local transportation and Taxis can be hard for the non adventurer, local transportation is usually packed, and taxis you will need always to negotiate. So both apps provide a reliable and hassle free service
