CAFÉ OUM KALSOUM

A unique address in Cairo, for its decoration, and its chichas served while listening to the diva... It is located on Orabi Street, in the centre of Cairo, opposite the "Cairo" cinema, which used to be a theatre. A café that the diva used to visit when she gave a performance at the theatre. It was during one of these visits that the owner of the café, then called Café Tawfik, negotiated with Oum Keltoum to use his name as a sign to pay tribute to him. This was in 1948, and since then the name of the queen of oriental music has resonated throughout the world.
