It is a constant need and desire for every living creature to be in an open space and to inhale fresh air. It's as simple as it can get: Roshdi and Mahmoud have taken the initiative and smartly used a garden and made a café out of it, or how the Egyptians would call it, Qahwa Baladi, setting up tables between corridors of greenery.
If you can, close your eyes for a second and imagine being served a herbal drink on a very cold night, inhaling privacy and exhaling comfort.
Not just that: all football fans would appreciate this specific hangout, the surroundings and the company. The lined-up seating, clear loudspeakers and a nice high-hung screen give you the chance to not miss cheering for your favorite team -- just carry your true self and let your night be.
It's a spot that is all about chilling: windy and cool on summer days, warm and refreshing on winter days.
