Ahwas, Cairo Coffee Shop
Cairo coffee shops, or ahwas, have provided a place of reprieve—and social exchange—for centuries, and can be found on almost every city street. For Egyptian residents (the male ones at least), they offer a spot to congregate with friends, peruse the morning papers, and puff on a shisha, or water pipe. For visitors, they serve as a stopping point in the midst of a busy, bustling Cairo day—and a good place to take in some local culture while sipping strong Turkish coffee.
