Overview
On the Nile island of Gezira, cosmopolitan Zamalek is home to cultural powerhouses like the Cairo Opera House, a grand riverside venue for performing and visual arts.
Description
Paintings and sculptures at the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art span the 20th and 21st centuries, while independent galleries focus on emerging local artists. Refined global restaurants and chic cafes sit alongside embassies and upscale hotels. It has witnessed many phases of growth affected by many economic and political currents which has led to a crowding of parts of the island including great reductions in the Zamalek district's open green areas, but with a large greenbelt across the island's middle defining the two districts.
