It's amazing how much is packed into the little island suburb of Zamalek. Granted, it's not central Cairo, but there are all sorts of embassies and museums and shops and also the Cairo Tower. It is surrounded by a lovely garden. You can go up in the tower, which doubtless would have provided a lovely view of Cairo, but it was during the Great Unpleasantness so I didn't have the funds. This really is a lovely, shady little respite from the chaos of Cairo.
