Tabasco - The heavenly place in Zamalek.

Samir will be my star in this note, again. While trying to get his visa to France to visit his friend Hassan, he had to stay a couple of days in Cairo, sweet Cairo. He had discovered a nice place in Zamalek called Tabasco, and this time we decided to spend a couple of hours there.

Tabasco is a nice Cafe, basically an underground corridor, i.e. a long and narrow place, in the nice district of Zamalek, somewhere near the dorms of the AUC.

Despite its dimensions, the owner of the place knows exactly what people want from a place such like this, so he has arranged the place and equipped it with everything you would need as an AUCian -the premiere guests- or as a normal persion ;-)

You will definitly notice the Red neon light at the facade of the place, which grabs the attention of people passing by, well, I think that was the way samir got to know the place.

You get in to find a shelf to your left, with magazines that you can read if you are alone, then two rows of tables with different types of chairs and sofas, and you can suit yourself.

Pick up the menu and take the notorious Cafe Mocha.


You will really like it.

If you have your laptop, like everyone else in this place, you make yourself comfortable that there is an internet access point there, so you can check your mail or even flirt online ;-)

I really liked this place, and wish you can pay it a visit one day.
