At this fantastic cafe across from the Bibliotheca Alexandrina you can sip tea and smoke shisha to the sound of waves rolling in, and smell sea air instead of petrol fumes (yay). Directly on the water, it has rustic palm-frond-shaded tables replete with twinkling coloured lights, set on a small curving beach where you can hardly hear the traffic.
It’s a great place to relax in the sultry breeze, enjoying the Mediterranean vibe. To find it, look for the modern sculpture with three white needles, directly across the Corniche from the library. Walk past the sculpture towards the sea; the entrance is down the steps to the right.

The perfect lunch stop to scoff fuul (fava bean paste) and falafel. Mohammed Ahmed is the undisputed king of spectacularly good and cheap Egyptian standards. Select your fuul (we recommend iskandarani, mashed up with lots of lime juice and spices), add some falafel, choose a few accompanying salads and let the feasting begin.
There's an English menu to aid your selection. The tahini, banga (beetroot) and torshi (bright-pink pickled vegetables) are all good choices to add to your meal. Note that the street sign on the corner of Saad Zaghloul calls this Sharia Abdel Fattah El Hadary.
