Established in 1936, El Horreya Café—meaning "freedom" in Arabic—is a landmark café located in El Falaky Square near Tahrir Square. Known for its cultural significance, this historic venue has been a longtime hub for Cairo's artists, intellectuals, students, and revolutionaries.
The café features a spacious interior with high ceilings, large windows, and vintage wall décor that reflect its storied past. It is known for its relaxed atmosphere where locals and visitors gather to socialize, write, discuss politics, or simply enjoy a moment of calm in the bustling city.
