Shopping in Cairo: Go Cairo Festival City Mall

For a thoroughly modern take on retail therapy, make your way out to Cairo Festival City in New Cairo. This sprawling mixed-use development incorporates everything from houses to offices and entertainment venues (including The Marquee Theatre and KidZania Cairo). Festival City Mall features more than 300 shops and dining outlets, all in a contemporary, air-conditioned setting that provides a welcome respite from the Cairo heat. Explore local and international brand names in fashion, technology, and home décor. Or make a family day of it with a visit to the mall’s trampoline park, arcade, or climbing wall. Galaxy Cinema is also located here. Night owls will appreciate that Festival City shops stay open until 10 p.m. from Saturday to Wednesday, and until 11 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays. Restaurants and cafés close even later.
