The Most Well Known Romantic Spots in Zamalek

There are many places in Zamalek that had been the reason for many couples to meet... I personally do know a lot of people who like to go to certain places in Zamalek to find their ONE... 

1- Gezira Sporting Club



'Nady El Gezira' had always been recognized for being 'the lovers club' or 'Nady El 3osha2' Since so long many marriage/date set ups had been organized there for couples to meet.  For the 70s, 80s, and 90s couples going to 'El Gezira Club' was the best choice... If you walked there you are gonna see many trees with letters, hearts, names and symbols... If you are a member definitely your first crush was there... For the 00s couples you are definitely gonna remember this the Pergola, the Golf area, the lido and FBI... And, the newest place now is Gezira's New Gym! Couples do meet there to work out together more than they actually work out...Most of girls go there with full make up and guys look their best who knows! For teenagers, check out the girls bathrooms at the pergola, they do write letters about their bfs, their exes and their crushes right on the toilets' doors... I actually like to go there to enjoy reading and sometimes I do reply... it's very interesting.

2- Left Bank 


You have a date you don't think in a place... You just go directly to left bank... Low lights at night in front of the Nile view... very romantic... I've met (or caught) like over 20 of my best friends guys and girls meeting up there with their ones... Honestly, it's one of my choices too... If you still don't have a date already you go there in the morning and you are gonna meet everyone you know and who knows maybe someone you know will introduce you to someone you will get to know and fall for... 

3- Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf


If you wanna meet your ONE ... Goooooo but don't go alone! Bring your DOG with you and if you don't have a dog borrow your cousin's dog or your best friend's dog ... But, you shall bring a dog with you...If you are a guy or a girl bringing your dog with you will definitely make you meet the one you are looking for... and bring the dog that represents your personality...

4- Diwan 


A bookstore not weird to meet your soul-mate... If you love reading and you want your one to be a reader too... You can go to Diwan... A good friend of mine had met her husband there!.. You can share books... You can know her/his personality from the section he or she are looking at.. Diwan is a good place for a specific type of people to meet and you can also make friends too... 

5- Alfa Market 

Expect the unexpected! Don't disgrade Alfa Market for being a Romantic Spot for people to meet their ones... A guy friend of mine was telling me how he met his GF, he said 'I was starving for a bar of chocolate' and he lives in an apartment in Alfa's street... He went their in his pyjamas ... he wasn't looking good that day... He saw her she was looking for yogurt (light yogurt) she was dieting... He liked her he thought she's pretty so he helped her to find the yogurt he opened up a conversation... They discovered that they graduated from the same university... And, he said to me we never forgot Alfa Market's Charm... 

6- The Aquarium (Genenet Al Asmak) 



If you are talking about the past ... like really really the past back to 1900s... Genenet Al Asmak had been the spot for many couples to meet in the past... If you had seen the movie 'Al Aydi Al Na3ema' (the soft hand) You are gonna relate... Like regular couples and classy couples used to meet there in the past, but now Genenet Al Asmak since it had been closed in 1965 and was opened again in 1988 it became a place for a bit local class... In the past it only included Zamalek residents, but since late 80s till today the social class of it's guests became a lot lower... There are also a 00s movie named 'Genenet Al Asmak" that was starring Amr Waked and Hend Sabri.
