The Top 7 Problems of Zamalek that need to be fixed

1- Building a Metro in Zamalek 




Number one problem right now in Zamalek. The metro subject had been so annoying and everyone who lives in Zamalek doesn't want it ! But, for example students in Universities like the Fine Arts college want it because it's going to be easier for them when it comes to transportation... But we think it's a bad idea because also Zamalek is an Island on the Nile River and Probably building a metro would be so wrong ! Although the governor says that it's approved by many engineers. But, if we imagined building a metro on an island that's surrounded by water is unimaginable and it might be so wrong. Zamalek residents had been complaining for so long, but no actual action was taken. And, in the beginning the idea was disapproved then they came back and they approved it. 


2- Unlicensed Cafes and Restaurants



The second problem that zamalek is facing those days is the huge number of cafes and restaurants that had been opened without a permission. The police had closed and shut down most of them, but still this doesn't mean that the problem had been solved, because the number of cafes, lounges, restaurants, clubs and pubs is just increasing and this is causing many other troubles like block traffic, the environment of Zamalek, and finding a parking spot. Especially on week ends it becomes so hard for people to move from a place to place or to park. Beside the big number of cafes and restaurants there are two big famous clubs that are located in Zamalek Al Ahly club and Al Gezira Club, this also create a huge problem and it increases the crowed. 

3- The Number of Schools and Universities in Zamalek 





The huge number of schools and universities in Zamalek could be the third problem on the list. Zamalek has a very big list of educational institutes which is increasing the problem of the traffic.

Al Sawy cutural wheel could be beneficial and important, but 
the hundreds of concerts and the amount of people who attend are causing noise pollution. Besides, many people see it as not education, but it's more of profitable and making money.
