Anyone know where this is?
The only thing I have found seems to indicate Zamalek but its quite old and would Zamalek be described as 'Downtown'?

Just discovered an Egyptian band I like and they're playing there next weekend.

got a nice jazzy feel - like a lot of the stuff I used to listen to in the 80s.

I think its fascinating that there are all these things going on in Cairo that we don't hear about.

Found it - looks nice from the outside - a little off the beaten track!

Also went walkabout with a friend yesterday and we found a little arty cafe called - erm now I've forgotten - Kunst Cafe ? - its round the corner from Macdonalds as you wander somewhere up Talaat Harb towards Attaba (yes I know that's really good directions NOT) - but if you've got time to wander about a bit you might find it now you know its there!
