Mr Mike, the American lawyer who been living in Cairo for the past 24 years and are my new habibi took me around old down town Cairo last night to show me some of his hidden gems, this guy is remarkable and interesting that people knows his name!! after a tour at the Greek club we went to Café Riche, extremely cool place where you can feel the time stand still and you are moved back to the Egyptian black & white movies, this café opened in 1908 and are a true landmark in Cairo that have witnessed many changes in Egyptian modern history, from Nasser, to King Farouk and Prime ministers to resistance during the 1919 revolution and other important tales that shaped Egypt to what we know of today, search Café Riche on Wikipedia for more interesting info.
