A pool that feels like the North Coast? Yes, please. Their artificial beach setup brings you sea vibes without leaving Cairo.

Bunker – One Golden Square
Stressful week? Grab your friends and hit the bunkers, throw some axes, and pretend you’re not mad at your boss, and yes, bowling counts as therapy too.
