Cairo’s best bars
Our pick of Cairo’s best bars, curated honestly: no Egyptian bar appears on the current global bar ranking and there is no regional African or MENA bar list, so Cairo drinking means licensed hotel rooms, a handful of Zamalek independents and the city’s craft-beer taprooms. A favourite.place selection. Sources: The World’s 50 Best Bars 2025 https://www.theworlds50best.com/bars/list/1-50
